The Shape of the Week

What runs daily, and what happens once

Every service, session, exhibit and banquet takes place inside the Hilton Anaheim. Nothing is off-site.

Every Day

  • Divine Services — Orthros, Vespers, Compline, Bible study and confessions with the hierarchs and clergy of the Archdiocese
  • Workshops — sessions across the week, several days carrying their own theme
  • Department meetings — the Archdiocese's departments convene through the week
  • Choir rehearsals — including Byzantine choir
  • Youth programming — Teen SOYO, and Kidz Club for ages 4–12
  • Vendor hall — Orthodox booksellers, iconographers and exhibitors
  • "Ask Abouna" — late each night

Once During the Week

  • The General Assembly — parish delegates seated; the business of the Archdiocese
  • Women's Day
  • The Bible Bowl
  • The Oratorical Festival
  • Shrine visitation — the Miraculous Kursk Root Icon
  • Order of Saint Ignatius reception
  • The Grand Banquet
  • Hierarchical Divine Liturgy — closing the week

Before You Plan

Three things worth knowing

Attendance is open. You do not need to be a delegate, and you do not need to be Antiochian. Parishes send delegates to the General Assembly, but the week itself is open.

Children have their own schedule. Teen SOYO and Kidz Club run in parallel with the adult program all week, in their own space in the hotel.

Some events are ticketed separately. The Grand Banquet and certain receptions are additions at registration rather than part of the base. The 2027 structure has not been published yet.
