On Sunday, October 18th the Very Rev. Abbot Tryphon of the All Merciful Saviour Monastery (Vashon Island, WA) gave the homily at the Divine Liturgy. During his homily Fr. Tryphon used vivid stories to relate the relevance of the Gospel to our daily life, and gave practical examples on how to cultivate our relationship with Jesus Christ.

Fr. Tryphon is well known to many through his daily blog "the Morning Offering", as well his devotional book by the same title published by Ancient Faith Publishing. He is visiting our Diocese to give a series of talks entitled "Engaging the Culture: While Remaining Faithful to the Gospel in the Time and Place We are Called".

We ask that God strengthen Abbot Tryphon in his ministry that inspires the faithful here in North America, and beyond!
