Archpriest Paul and Matushka Mary Shafran Celebrate Milestone Anniversaries!

On December 28, 2021, Archpriest Paul Shafran, Pastor Emeritus (retired) at St. Vladimir's Church, Trenton, NJ, celebrated the 74th anniversary of his ordination to the Holy Priesthood.  One month earlier, Father Paul and Matushka Mary celebrated their 74th wedding anniversary.  They were married in Matushka's home town, Warren, Ohio, at St. John the Baptist Orthodox Church on Thanksgiving Day (Nov. 27, 1947), which was pre-Advent according to the Julian calendar being followed at that time.  By the grace of God, Fr. Paul and Matushka Mary continue to attend church services, and Fr. Paul serves with joy in the altar with Fr. Volodymyr Chaikivskiy, Rector of St. Vladimir's Church.  Congratulations to Father Paul and Matushka Mary on these wonderful milestones!!
