Nice to see the 25-year mark for the parish being properly celebrated. Bishop Kirill serving there with Fr. John Monarshek must have made for a solid Liturgy. Our choir sang at a similar anniversary last year — always feels like the church is really alive on days like that.

It’s good that we celebrated 25 years of the revival of the parish and 10 years after the great consecration. Bishop Kirill with Father John of Monarsheka is always thorough and prayerful. Last year, for the same holiday “Three Hands,” we also had a bishop, and after the service we all ate pies with cabbage together, just like at home.

Nice to see that 25-year milestone get its due. Bishop Kirill and Fr. John always bring a steady, prayerful tone to these services. Did your choir do the “Troeruchitsa” hymns last year, or was it something else?
