The Annunciation Cathedral GOYA and Jr. GOYA are excited to host an End of Year Picnic as we kick off the summer with a full day of fellowship, fun, and connection. This special gathering brings together GOYA youth from parishes across the Bay Area for a BBQ, pool party, and shared activities in a relaxed outdoor setting.

The picnic will take place on Sunday, June 7, following the Divine Liturgy, at Blackberry Farm in Cupertino (Sycamore Picnic Site). The day begins with arrival and light snacks, followed by a BBQ lunch. In the afternoon, participants will enjoy swimming (please bring $10 for pool entry), games, and a short group hike to nearby trails. The event will conclude with dessert, social time, and cleanup before departure at 7:00 PM.

We look forward to a joyful and meaningful event where our youth can strengthen friendships and build connections across our Bay Area parishes. Please click here to RSVP and sign up! Each participant must RSVP and submit a signed waiver by June 1. Parents are also encouraged to indicate on the RSVP form if they are available to chaperone, offer rides, or if their child will need transportation, as we will help coordinate carpools.
