Feb. 16, 2022, Triennium Announcement from Analise Brown, National Registrar for Presbyterian Youth Triennium
The Office of Presbyterian Youth and Triennium has come to the difficult but important decision to cancel the Presbyterian Youth Triennium 2022 in-person event. This is out of a deep desire to prioritize the safety and health of our participants and their communities – youth and adult volunteers from your churches. It feels heartbreaking but necessary to make this call and to share it with you today. Click here to read the public announcement made earlier today.
