For the Feast of the Holy Apostle Andrew the First-called, Bishop TIKHON celebrated the Divine Liturgy at Holy Trinity Church in Stroudsburg together with the Rector, Fr. Nicholas Solak. In addition to the faithful of the parish, the children from the Holy Protection Preschool were present for the Divine Liturgy. Following the service, Bishop Tikhon offered a few words to the children about the life of St Andrew and about his relics, which were present on that day.

Following a luncheon, Bishop Tikhon spent some more time with the children and gave them his blessing. The Holy Protection Preschool is a collaboration between Holy Cross Greek Orthodox Church and Holy Trinity Church, the two Orthodox parishes in the Stroudsburg area.
