Bishop Michael: First Anniversary of Consecration
May 8, 2011

To our beloved hierarch we sing: “Many Years! Eis Polla eti Despota!  One year has passed since the consecration and installation of His Grace, Michael, as Bishop of New York and the Diocese of New York and New Jersey.  It was a long awaited and keenly anticipated day on the 8th of May 2010 at Saints Peter & Paul Church in Jersey City NJ.

Solemn prayers of thanks, blessings, rejoicing, praise, and hope filled not only the church wherein the blessed consecration was taking place but extended throughout the length and breadth of the diocese: from the tip of Long Island through Manhattan to the Pennsylvania border; from the southern Jersey Shore to the Great Lakes and Canadian border. It was a confirmation of holy tradition and the dawn of a new day in the diocese. And, as each new day unfolded, the life and vitality of the diocese and her hierarch became more and more manifest.  What a year it has been!  A year filled with joyous vision, inspired enthusiasm, renewed commitment, and (perhaps greatest of all) a manifestly genuine spirit of mutual love, care, and unity in being faithful witnesses to Christ and His Holy Church. “Let us join in prayer and thanksgiving,” said Diocesan Chancellor, Archpriest Joseph Lickwar, “as we celebrate His Grace’s first anniversary as our Archpastor and Spiritual Shepherd.”
