Day 2 of the 59th Annual Diocesan Assembly began with a Hierarchal Divine Liturgy celebrated by Archbishop Mark, assisted by the Chancellor and Deans of the Diocese. The homily was presented by Fr. Victor Gorodenchuk. During the Liturgy, 2 ordinations took place: Nathan Clausson to the Holy Priesthood and Kirill Zawatski to the Holy Diaconate.
AXIOS! AXIOS! AXIOS!
May God Grant Deacon Kirill and Priest Nathan Many Blessed Years!
Everyone then returned to Chernay Fellowship Hall for a delicious brunch that was prepared by St. Nicholas’s faithful.
The Assembly meeting of the second day went quickly, with the Treasurer’s Report and the presentation of the 2023 budget. A gift was presented to Mother Christophora of Holy Transfiguration Monastery by Archbishop Mark. He then thanked Fr. Nikolai, Rector of St. Nicholas Church for being host to this year’s Delegate Assembly meeting, and all the hard work of his parishioners.
The host for next year’s 60th Annual Diocesan Assembly will be at Christ the Savior Church in Harrisburg, PA, on Thursday, January 25th, and Friday, January 26th, 2024.
