On Sunday evening, 28 February 2016, Saint Nicholas Orthodox Church in Whitestone NY hosted the annual appreciation dinner for Distinguished Diocesan Benefactors (DDB) of the New York City Deanery. Archbishop Michael offered his sincere gratitude to the DDBs and presented an overview of the many fruits brought forth through their sacrificial financial support. Over $650,000 was contributed during the first five years (2011-2015) of the program! Last year a record-breaking total of $160,000 was received to support vital ministries throughout the diocese.
