Dear Parishioners,
As most of you know, my father passed away last Sunday. I will be traveling with Presvytera to Tarpon Springs, FL for his funeral service and will take some time to spend with my mother and sister.
My mom, sister, and I are very grateful for all the heartfelt condolences and prayers for my father and us. I have seen all of you gather together to support loved ones who have passed away in our community and now I have the opportunity to experience this love and support personally. A link to my father’s obituary is HERE.
The funeral series will be live-streamed from St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Cathedral in Tarpon Springs, HERE.
Presvytera and I will be gone for two (2) weeks, and since I am required to quarantine for 3 days upon returning (according to NYS COVID guidelines, in cooperation with our Metropolis) I have prepared the following schedule of services during my absence. I apologize in advance for not being able to arrange a priest for all services due to the lack of supply priests in the Metropolis.
