Holy Cross Church Visited by His Eminence, Archbishop Mark - 07/07/24

On Sunday, July 7, the Feast of All Saints of North America, His Eminence, Archbishop Mark of Philadelphia and Eastern Pennsylvania presided over the services at Holy Cross Orthodox Church in Williamsport, PA.

During the Divine Liturgy His Eminence, Archbishop Mark elevated Priest Seraphim Reynolds to the rank of Archpriest. Axios!

Serving with His Eminence was Archpriest Seraphim Reynolds, Rector of Holy Cross Church, along with the servers of the parish.

His Eminence offered the homily on how we must focus on now. His Eminence capitalized on the fact that we cannot as christians live in the past but focus on today as Christ says.

Following the veneration of the cross a meal was had in the fellowship hall next door. During the Meal, His Eminence presented Archpriest Seraphim with a cross of the archpriest and members of the parish presented Archpriest Seraphim and Matushka Mary with gifts congratulating both of them on this occasion. Members of Holy Apostles Church in Mechanicsburg, PA, came to support Archpriest Seraphim and family during this event. Archpriest Seraphim was the deacon at Holy Apostles Church for 7 years.

May God grant His Eminence, Archbishop Mark, Archpriest Seraphim and Matushka Mary, and the faithful of Holy Cross Parish many years!

Glory to God for all things!
