On Saturday May 5 and Sunday May 6 we had a blessing of St. Tikhon's Seminary Choir visiting St. Stephen's once again and singing responses at Saturday Vespers and Sunday Liturgy. It was a wonderful testament of the work that is being done at St. Tikhon’s in both educating the future clergy of the Church and in providing an opportunity for our faithful to learn more about the ancient tradition of Orthodox singing. Through the generosity of our parishioners we were able to present St. Tikhon’s Seminary with a donation in the amount of $2000. We want to thank all those who contributed and also remember in prayer our departed parishioner Catherine Paulasack, whose bequest to our Cathedral for charitable distribution contributed to this amount. We also want to thank all the family that hosted seminarians during their visit to St. Stephen. May the Lord bless you with Many Years!(4 images)
