On Sunday, October 9th, St. Nicholas Orthodox Church in Bethlehem, PA had a potluck coffee hour to honor the dedicated clergy of our church. After the Liturgy, Fr. Nikolai, rector for St. Nicholas, gave appreciation for Mitered Archpriest James Mason, attached, and for Deacon Geoffrey LoBalbo. He also expressed deep appreciation for all matushkas, especially Matushka Mila, who has always been by his side supporting his pastoral efforts.
After Veneration of the Cross, the clergy and parishioners went to Chernay Fellowship Hall for a beautiful coffee hour complete with salad, delicious dishes and desserts. Our guests of honor were the first to enjoy the potluck luncheon.
May God grant all clergy, “Many Blessed Years!”
