His Grace, Bishop PAUL, celebrated the Hierarchal Divine Liturgy and Vespers with Kneeling Prayers with the parish of Holy Trinity Orthodox Cathedral on the parish's patronal feast. 

During his sermon, he explored what the Gospel tells us about how the apostles went out into the world to spread the word of Jesus' resurrection and ascension into heaven.  He encouraged all present to open our hearts, speaking with all we meet about the Lord and inviting them to be part of our church community. 

Following the conclusion of services, the parish gathered for a celebratory dinner featuring roast beef, chicken, vegetables and dessert.  A cake was presented to honor both the wedding anniversary of Father John and Matushka Melania and the anniversary of Father John's ordination into the Holy Priesthood.  May God Grant You Many Years!
