The faithful of Saint John Baptist Church in Alpha NJ welcomed Bishop Michael for a Hierarchical Liturgy of the Pre-Sanctified Gifts on Friday evening, 19 April.  His Grace inspired all with words of encouragement on the Lenten journey to PASCHA.   During the service, Archpriest Bohdan Ostash was awarded the Palitza  with a “grammata” (certificate of appreciation)  for his many years of priestly ministry on the occasion of his 25th Anniversary of Ordination to the Holy Priesthood. May God grant Father Bohdan good health and all good things for “Many Years!”
