Day of the Holy Spirit - 06/13/11

On Monday, June 13th, Bishop Michael celebrated the Divine Liturgy on the parish feast-day of Holy Spirit Church in Wantage NJ.  Many clergy from near and afar came to celebrate also. The wonderfully inspiring homily was delivered by Reader Derek Schmidt.  The responses were prayerfully and beautifully sung by Holy Spirit's choir along with some guest singers who were led by the parish choir director, Joanne Patrick.
 
Serving with His Grace at the Divine Liturgy were: Archpriest Samuel Kedala (Rector and Dean of New Jersey); Igumen Joseph (Rector of Holy Transfiguration Church, Pearl River NY); Protosingulos Vincent (Saint Dumitru Romanian Orthodox Monastery, Middletown NY); Priest Christos Talleos (Rector of Holy Cross Greek Orthodox Church, Middletown NY); Archpriest Gary Breton (Rector of Holy Annunciation Church, Brick NJ); Priest Stephen Evanina (Rector of Holy Assumption Church, Clifton NJ);  Priest Igor Ksyniuk (Rector of Saints Peter and Paul Church, Bayonne NJ); Deacon Thaddeus Franta and Deacon Matthew Markewich of Saint Tikhon's Seminary; acolytes Derek Schmidt and Mark Benda.
 
The joyful Divine Liturgy was followed by a festal luncheon in the Church hall. Thank God for all good things!
