On Sunday, August 20 our parish community bid a fond farewell to Rdr. James, Alison (Elizabeth), and Madeleine Latimer. Rdr. James has been our choir director the past four years, and under his directorship our choir has flourished, and with it, the spiritual atmosphere of our parish. The Latimer's will be attending St. Tikhon Seminary in the fall. May God grant them many blessed years!

We were also over joyed to have Fr. Leonid Schmidt, pastor of Christ the Saviour Orthodox Church in Paramus, NJ and his family visiting with us. Fr. Leonid's wife, M. Laura (Hadginske), is a daughter of our parish!
