On December 29, 2013, we continued to celebrate the Nativity of the Lord, with an Open House in the rectory. At the conclusion of the Divine Liturgy, we kept the ancient custom of St. Basil's Bread, with the golden coin being received by Monk Christian (Lesinsky). On this day, we also congratulated Protopresbyter Daniel Hubiak on his 87th birthday - may the Lord grant him and Mat. Dunia many more blessed years! Finally, on this day, we reached our goal of raising 30K to repay a short term 0% interest loan generously offered by a benefactor for  renovations required to the Parish Center. We have so many to thank, and we offer glory and thanks to God for all things, including such a wonderful day with so many blessings!
