We were happy to mark the beginning of construction on our roof and cupola project, today, after some weather delays. The north half of the roof has been completely installed, and the cupola is ready to be loaded onto a boom lift tomorrow afternoon. Our deep thanks and gratitude to all those who generously donated to help make this project possible. A few photos from today’s work can be found on our Facebook page, here.

On Sunday, March 11, our parish was honored to host His Beatitude, Tikhon, Archbishop of Washington and Metropolitan of All America and Canada, who is visiting parishes on Long Island during this Great Lent this year. Assisting His Beatitude as he led us in the celebration of the Hierarchical Divine Liturgy were Archdeacon Joseph Matusiak and Subdeacon Mark Federoff, whose assistance was invaluable in the prayerful and graceful service. Following the Liturgy, His Beatitude led the faithful in venerating the Holy Cross, and shared a festive lenten meal with all. Photos of the visit may be viewed here. (Many thanks to our photographer, Edna Fetkowitz.)

Our parish was honored and blessed to host our neighboring parishes of Holy Trinity Church (East Meadow), St. John the Theologian Church (Shirley), St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church (West Babylon) and the Monastery of St. Dionysios (Setauket) for the Sunday of Orthodoxy Vespers. Thank you to all who joined us to serve, sing, feast, and pray!

On Sunday, October 1, the feast of the Protection of the Theotokos, we rejoiced in the reception into the Holy Orthodox Faith five newly-illumined: Helen, Julia, Nicholas, Anthony, and Matthew. We celebrate with you and look forward to praying with you and laboring with you in Christ’s vineyard. Many years!
