2009 LENTEN MISSION - 03/09/09

On Sunday, March 29, His Beatitude, Metropolitan Jonah visited our parish for the Lenten Mission Vespers of the New Jersey Deanery. Over 300 people from throughout the area came for an afternoon of Christian prayer and fellowship.

We extend our sincerest thanks to the clergy and faithful from throughout the area, as well as St. Tikhon's Seminary Choir for singing the responses.

We especially thank the faithful of our parish who worked diligently in preparation for this day as it was truly rewarding for everyone. May our Lord bless each of you richly for it, granting you all MANY BLESSED YEARS!
