Following the blessing of the Chapel and installation of the new antimens on Saturday afternoon, everyone was invited to stay for a barbeque and pool party. An early Vigil was served at 4:00pm before retiring for the evening. On Sunday morning, His Beatitude led the celebration of the hierarchical Divine Liturgy, which was followed by a festal meal and fellowship by the pool. The weekend concluded with a molieben of Thanksgiving, during which we thanked God for all of His wondrous blessings:
"O Lord Jesus Christ, our God, the God of all mercies and compassion, Whose mercy cannot be measured and Whose love for mankind is an unfathomable deep: As unprofitable servants falling down with fear and trembling before Thy majesty, now humbly bearing thanksgiving unto Thy deep compassion for Thy benefits bestowed upon Thy servants, we glorify, praise, hymn and magnify Thee as Lord and Master and Benefactor; and again falling down in thanksgiving for Thine immeasurable and ineffable loving-kindness, humbly we pray: That, as now Thou has counted Thy servants worthy that their supplications be received and mercifully fulfilled, likewise in the time to come, as they flourish in sincere love for Thee and in every virtue, Thou wilt vouchsafe all Thy faithful to receive Thy benefits. Delivering Thy Holy Church and this town from every evil circumstance, and granting unto them peace and tranquility, do Thou count them worthy always to offer thanksgiving, to tell of Thy most-gracious benefits, and to sing unto Thee, together with Thy Father Who is without beginning, and Thy Most-holy, Good and Consubstantial Spirit, God worshiped in one essence, now and ever, and unto the ages of ages. Amen."

On Sunday, October 6, 2024, we celebrated the feastday of St. Innocent of Alaska and at the end of the Divine Liturgy there was special blessing for the choir director, members, and readers in honor of Church Musician Sunday. This blessing takes place annually on the Sunday closest to the feast of St. Romanus the Melodist (October 1st). Appreciation was expressed to all who fufill this sacred work and flowers were bestowed upon Alexis DeArmitt, our choir director, in recognition of her very fine service to Christ the Savior. We ask that Lord's divine blessing upon them all so that they might continue to worthily fulfill this vital ministry.
We were happy to welcome Mitred-Archpriest James Parsells, from Ss. Peter & Paul in Manville, NJ, who traveled down to be with us as we celebrated the namesday of his son, Archpriest John and the 74th birthday of Archpriest Joseph Oleynik. Glory to God for a wonderful day!
