Blessing of Automobiles - 07/19/09
On Sunday, July 19th, we had the annual blessing of automobiles, which occurs on the Sunday closest to the feast of the Prophet Elias (who ascended as if into heaven in a fiery chariot). We were pleased to welcome Fr. Thomas Soroka who gave an excellent homily on chapter 12 of St. Paul's Epistle to the Romans.(62 images)
