Glory be to Jesus Christ! Glory Forever! In light of the Statement of the Holy Synod of Bishops of the Orthodox Church in America March 17, 2020, and after consultation with the clergy of the diocese who met in teleconference with me today, it is my decision that in order to comply with Federal, State and local recommendations, and most importantly, out of our love and care for one another, we will not hold public services in our parishes until April 1 at the earliest.
