Created on Monday, 08 July 2013 17:19

His Grace, Bishop Demetrius of Boston visited the mission of St. John of Shanghai and San Francisco in Portland, Maine on its patronal feast day, July 2nd (n.s.). Concelebrating with His Grace were Presbyters Vassily Mihailoff - rector of the mission, John Knox and Andrew Snogren, Hierodeacon Barsanuphius and Deacon Yakov Tseitlin. Fr. George Liadis and Deacon Cyril Mendoza were also visiting.

Several families came up from the Boston area to share in the celebration of the feast. It was the first hierarchical service at the new church site, glory be to God! All traveled afterwards to the Mihailoffs' new home where they had a festive trapeza "under the tent" in the backyard. It was truly a grace-filled day!
