Nepsis MOREOM Congress 2026

8 October 2026 Rome, Italy

Nepsis Switzerland will take part in the Nepsis MOREOM Congress 2026, held in Rome from 8 to 11 October. 🇨🇭🇮🇹

Thank you to everyone who signed up! This year Nepsis Switzerland has a record turnout, and the Rome Congress looks set to be the one with the largest gathering of young people from the countries of the Metropolis.

The Congress, organised by the Federation of Nepsis Brotherhoods (Nepsis MOREOM) with the blessing of the Metropolitan Synod, brings together young people aged 14 to 35 from the parishes of the 10 countries of the Romanian Orthodox Metropolis of Western and Southern Europe. In the presence of the hierarchs of the Metropolis, participants will take part in talks, themed workshops and informal activities, organised by age group.

We hope to share beautiful moments together in Rome and to come back strengthened in faith and in friendship.

See you in Rome!
