On Sunday, February 23, 2020, approximately 60 people from across New Jersey Deanery attended Distinguished Diocesan Benefactors appreciation dinner hosted by Holy Resurrection Church in Wayne, NJ. His Eminence Archbishop Michael thanked everyone for their generous contributions to last year's DDB Program making it the most successful year thus far!

After the dinner, a short video presentation was shown to the audience highlighting the youth events in our Diocese that took place in 2019 - possible because of the generosity of Distinguished Diocesan Benefactors.

His Eminence Archbishop Michael had an opportunity to thank the benefactors individually by presenting each donor with a gramota (certificate of appreciation).

The evening was a wonderful opportunity for the faithful and the clergy form New Jersey deanery to share in fellowship with each other.

His Eminence also thanked Father Stephen Evanina and the faithful of Holy Resurrection Church for their gracious hospitality and for hosting this year's appreciation dinner in New Jersey Deanery.
