On Saturday, August 13th our parish youth group made a pilgrimage to St. Tikhon Monastery for their patronal feast day. Following Divine Liturgy we joined the brothers, seminarians, and other guests for lunch. Following lunch we toured the monastery and seminary grounds along with another youth group from St. Philip Orthodox Church in Souderton. We also visited the cemetery, and offered a memorial at the grave of our beloved Fr. Daniel Ressetar - may his memory be eternal! Glory to God for all things!
 
Troparion — St. Tikhon of Zadonsk
From your youth you loved Christ, O blessed one. / You have been an example for all by word, life, love, faith, purity, and humility. / Therefore, you now abide in the heavenly mansions, / where you stand before the throne of the All-holy Trinity. / Holy Hierarch Tikhon, pray for the salvation of our souls.
