Our parish celebrated it's patronal Saint - Venerable Herman of Alaska. Great Vespers was served on the Eve of the Feast. Following day we celebrated Divine Liturgy at 9am.
We were happy to welcome our Dean, Archpriest Timothy H. and his family from Holy Apostles Orthodox Church in Mechanicsburg, PA; Archpriest Steven V. from Christ the Savior Orthodox Church in Harrisburg, PA; and Priest Kirill Z. from Holy Ascension Orthodox Church in Frackville, PA. We were also honored to welcome faithfull from other parishes in our Deanery.
It was a true blessing to have with us Mitered Archpriest Nicholas MH. - a retired priest from Alaska. Father Nicholas was present at the glorification of St. Herman, and he shared his memories with us at the end of Liturgy.
Following Liturgy the faithfull and the clergy gathered at the parish hall for breakfast and fellowship.
Glory be to God!
