Good Evening, Dearly Beloved in the Lord,
I thank you for your prayers and well wishes this past, almost two weeks. Your positive energy and love have helped me more than you will ever know. I look forward to resuming my pastoral duties very soon. God willing, I will be with you this Sunday for the celebration of the Divine Liturgy and the swearing in of our 2017 Parish Council. Please be aware that our JOY Ministry will meet after Sunday School and the participants of the St. John Chrysostom Oratorical Festival will meet with their coaches, exchange ideas and begin their creative process, also this Sunday. For those of you who have submitted your House Blessing Forms, please know that I will be contacting you within the next few weeks to continue this sacred Tradition.
As we continue into a very busy time of the year, with our many ministries in full swing, I pray that the good Lord blesses all of your homes with abundant joy, continued health and fervor in faith.
I so look forward to seeing you at Liturgy! And again, thank you! Your cards, texts, emails, calls and posts were much appreciated and thoroughly enjoyed.
With Love in Christ,
Fr. Anthony
