We Romeo Meleca with a team of men and women belonging to Società Unita (The United Society), a non-profit charitable mission, will be sacrificing a week of their time, energies and finances on the Pilgrimage from All Saints Church, Etobicoke, to the Holy Cross of Teopoli, Gravenhurst.
Società Unita (The United Society) invites you to take part in this event either by joining the group on the Pilgrimage itself, and/or by supporting it with financial help and your prayers. The funds raised will sponsor underprivileged children to the Teopoli Summer Experience. For more information, please call 416-243-7319.
The Teopoli Summer Experience (TSE) is not a summer camp, and it is not just a place of recreation for youth. TEOPOLI is a way of life for children and teenagers, 6 to 17 years of age. For over 40 years, TEOPOLI has been providing young people and their families an environment where the values of family life are taught and experienced. Young people are encouraged to be responsible and independent through information about their Catholic faith, while enjoying themselves in many recreational activities in the secure and tranquil atmosphere of TEOPOLI Catholic Spiritual Center, located in the beautiful Muskoka area.
Teopoli is the privileged place of the United Society, where individually and communally we breathe in a divine atmosphere. The name itself, derived from two Greek words, “Theos” + “Polis”, City of God, reveals to us the nature and purpose of Teopoli.
The hopes, the dreams and the wishes of The United Society, we would like to put in practice at Teopoli. Here, in the City of God, we would like to live our lives to the fullest as sons and daughters of God, calling ourselves Brothers and Sisters. Here we pray with the purpose of reaching spiritual union with Jesus so that we may live in Peace, Love, and Unity with all.
At Teopoli we are and call ourselves citizens of the City of God. Jesus Crucified is the King of Teopoli, and Our Lady of Sorrows is the Queen. Teopoli, as a place of faith, prayer, reconciliation and penance, favours a sincere repentance of all our sins and the resolution to bring about a true conversion in our lives.
Teopoli inspires us to return to the Father with a lively hope of being forgiven and reinstated in the Peace and Love of God and our neighbour. At Teopoli we concretely experience union with God and with our neighbour because we recognize that we come from a Father who has given us and sustains us in life, so that His glory may be revealed. At Teopoli we live giving thanks to God for His goodness and mercy, for His love and peace and for His presence in our midst.
