A meeting of the clergy of the Wilkes-Barre Deanery was held on Thursday, November 17, 2011 at the Perkins Restaurant  in Pittston. His Grace, Bishop TIKHON, was in attendance at this meeting and offered his reflections on the work of the All American Council and made other remarks. The Dean, Archpriest Daniel Kovalak, chaired the meeting and addressed many issues affecting the clergy of the Deanery, including a review of the deanery finances. An offering was made to support several families in the Deanery that had been particularly devastated by the recent severe storms and flooding.
