Programul este dupa cum urmeaza:

Liturghia la ora 11.00 am
Agapa/picnic (suntem invitati sa aducem fiecare cate ceva de mancat si baut)
Blessing of the Holy Spring in the hill
Rugaciunea de seara
Vizitarea pesterilor monahale
Sa speram ca vremea o sa fie frumoasa.
Cei care doresc sa participe la pelerinaj si nu au transport, va rugam anuntati-ne din timp.
Va asteptam cu drag.
