On July 14-15, His Eminence, Archbishop Michael, visited the parish of St. Vladimir Church in Trenton, NJ, to celebrate the parish's patronal feast day. Sunday morning, he celebrated a Hierarchical Divine Liturgy with co-celebrants Fr. Volodymyr Chaikivskiy, Rector, Archpriest Paul Shafran, Pastor Emeritus (retired), visiting clergy Fr. Bohdan Chaikivskiy, Dn. Stephan Karlgut, and Dn. Mark Bohush (all of whom are currently attached to St. Athanasius Chapel, Bronxville, NY) and numerous altar servers. A special highlight of the Liturgy was His Eminence bestowing the "nabedrennik" (shield) award on Fr. Bohdan, marking the one-year anniversary of his ordination to the Holy Priesthood at last year's patronal feast day celebration in Trenton. Congratulations to Fr. Bohdan! AXIOS! The large crowd in attendance then proceeded to the fellowship hall for a festive luncheon. The events concluded with the Divine Liturgy Monday morning (the actual holy day), celebrated by His Eminence, Frs. Volodymyr and Bohdan, and Dn. Stephan, with Fr. Paul also in attendance. Oh Holy St. Vladimir, pray unto God for us! Enjoy the attached photos of these special days for the parish.
