This year is a milestone as they celebrate a decade of bringing families together through faith, fellowship, and fun.
Hosted by St. George & St. Abanoub (SGSA) Church, this beloved tradition honours the life of St. Abanoub — a 12 year-old Christian martyr from the 4th century whose courage and faith continue to inspire, especially among the youth.
Over the past ten years, this festival has grown into a vibrant celebration of Coptic Orthodox heritage, offering something for everyone — from games and activities to spiritual enrichment and cultural exploration.
They also made a sizable donation to Milton District Hospital Foundation and Michael Beaver as well as
Peter Conteduca from the hospital foundation were on site to receive the contribution.
As we celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Abanoub Festival, we honor St. Abanoub’s unwavering love for Christ, inviting the Milton community to join us in a spirit of joy, unity, and acceptance, reflecting the enduring legacy of this young martyr’s faith.” – Fr. Kyrillos Attia, Priest of St. George and St. Abanoub Coptic Orthodox Church in Milton.
