Visit from Archbishop Mark and Tonsuring of Blaise Shepherd - 06/02/24
Today His Eminence, Archbishop Mark, came to visit us at our church! Parishioners were there early outside the church to greet him and welcome him to St. Michael's. We had a wonderful Divine Liturgy and he gave us a very meaningful sermon speaking of St. Photini, the woman at the well.
In addition the day was made even more special as our very own Blaise Shepherd was tonsured as a reader! Congratulations Blaise!
At the end of liturgy we sang Many Years to all those who had or have recent birthdays and anniversaries. May God Grant you all Many Years!
Afterwards, we all got together downstairs for our Agape meal to fellowship with one another. Many people brought delicious food, and the Parish Council presented Blaise with a cake to congratulate him, and also a small gift was given to Archbishop Mark on the occasion of his upcoming birthday!
