This new choral composition for the Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom, created on the foundations of Serbian Orthodox chanting, was made possible by the charity of the Hilandar Foundation.

After the holy service, a meal of love will be served in the church hall. We invite the clergy and faithful people of the Diocese to this joint prayer gathering.
