Nice to read that Archbishop Mark came to Glen Mills especially for Herman Day. Our small community here in Hamburg also celebrated the same holiday last year with a simple lunch after the liturgy - always impressive how the Saint of Alaska holds the entire church in America together. Did you also have an akathist or just the usual festive liturgy?
