George & Joan Kuyon (June 18) God grant you many years!
Rejoice, O mountains of Pennsylvania! Leap for joy, O waters of the
Great Lakes! Rise up, O fertile plains of Canada! For the elect of
Christ who dwelt in you are glorified -- men and women who left their
homes for a new land! With faith, hope and patience as their armor
they courageously fought the good fight. Comforted by the beauty of
the Orthodox Faith they labored in mines and mills, they tilled the
land, they braved the challenges of the great cities enduring many
hardships and sufferings. Never failing to worship God in spirit and
truth and unyielding in devotion to His most pure Mother, they erected
many temples to His glory. Come, O assembly of the Orthodox! With
love let us praise the holy women, men and children, those known to
us and those known only to God, and let us cry out to them:
“Rejoice, All Saints of North America and pray to God for us!”

who repose in the Lord.
Can’t come to church?
Tune in, we’ll bring church to you! Last Sunday was a “first” for our parish! The entire
Divine Liturgy was live-streaming on our YouTube
channel. Please visit the channel and “SUBSCRIBE”
so you’ll have email reminders when something of
importance is being broadcast live … and you’ll be
able to view older videos anytime! Keep the link!

The Divine Liturgy last
Sunday was our first effort in
having up to 25% capacity in
church for worship. It went
perfectly! The same protocol
applies for today (June 21st)
and we’re poised to move
forward as the restrictions
permit.
Liturgy will begin at 10:00 AM, as usual. For
those 60+ years of age, or anyone with a condition
placing them at risk of infection, the Holy Eucharist
will be distributed (with only 10 people in church at a
time) from 12:00 Noon to 12:30 PM.
We are ready to expand our participation and resume a
modified fellowship/coffee hour, hopefully soon.
