Youth Center

The «Spiritual and Ethical Education Youth Center of St. Catherine» (YC) is a youth organization under the Krasnodar St. Catherine’s Cathedral (the crossing of st. Mira and st. Kommunarov).

The YС was created on the initiative of the clergy and parish of the Russian Orthodox Church and by the blessing of His Eminence Isidor, Metropolitan of Ekaterinodar and Kuban.

The Center exists since the 4th of September, 2009.

Its primary task is the realization of youth’s service in the Russian Orthodox Church.

The patron saint of the YC is St. great martyr Catherine. This marvelous saint is so honoured by the youth not only for being the patron saint of the town and Cathedral to which it belongs. In spite of her young age, St. Catherine is called the “wisest of orators”. Although she had a brilliant education, a talent for making money and arranging her life, these weren’t the reasons of her well-known wisdom. But the whole-hearted craving for the Kingdom of Heaven, despite the temptations of this world, made her fearless of torments and death. Thus St. Catherine may serve us as an example of seeking wisdom, strength of faith and love for God from our youth up.
