On Sunday, August 21 at the conclusion of the Divine Liturgy, our teachers and students gathered for a special blessing as they prepared to return to classes. May our Lord who inspires the heart and the intellect - guide them in their instruction and their studies; and preserve them as faithful followers of His commandments!

We also celebrated the churching and first holy Communion of Alexander Vasilca, who was Baptized & Chrismated the day before. May God grant him many blessed years!
