Last weekend our Parish was met with a triple Holiday: the arrival of our Bishop Nicholas, Sunday and, of course, the stay of the holy Kursk Icon of the Most Holy Theotokos with us!

And many thanks to everyone! It is simply impossible to describe in words what a special great joy, prayer, peace, unity there was in these days!

On Saturday Vladyka Nicholas and we all celebrated a solemn All-Night Vigil, and on Sunday we celebrated the most joyful Divine Liturgy! Then there was a joint photo, a wonderful meal, the joy of communication and the blessing of the Archpastor and the miraculous image of the Most Holy Lady.

The church is full of people, a huge number of parishioners, who lit each other's hearts with joy and love! A huge number of participants!

I have received many warm words from you dear ones, thank you very much! Together, we expressed our gratitude for the visit to Vladyka and presented him with a bishop's Panagia with the image of the Holy Trinity.

In general, there are many more words to say, but the most important thing is that we have each other and Christ is in our midst.

And, of course, I say thank you again to those who worked hard, organizing the meeting of the Bishop, and the meal, and preparing the temple, who sacrificing money, and who praying.

I once again convey to everyone the blessing of our Bishop Nicholas. God bless you and, of course, take care of each other.

With love in Christ,

rector hieromonk Nikon
