On Saturday, the 23rd of August, we celebrated the Divine Liturgy in English at the Temple of St. Nicholas. The service was officiated by Fr. Valentin. Concelebrating was Fr. Victor of Uganda, visiting us from the Patriarchal Exarchate of Africa, with Fr. Deacon Vladimir assisting.

After the service, Fr. Valentin offered warm words of congratulation.

We then gathered for our traditional breakfast meal, which continued in a nearby cafe as we were saddened to learn that Yosief, one of our long-time attendees, is returning to his home country of Eritrea, having completed his studies in Russia, yet glad to see him begin the next phase of his life.
