Ven. Hilarion the New

To all Diocesan Clergy in the Tristate Area

Dear in the Lord Reverend Fathers,

In accordance with annual diocesan custom, on Bright Saturday, May 11th, a joint Divine Liturgy will be held between clerics of the Moscow Patriarchate and the Russian Church Abroad. This year, the Liturgy will be held at Three Saints Church in Garfield, NJ. God willing, I will officiate the Liturgy, concelebrated by my brother bishops: Archbishop Justinian of Naro-Fominsk, and diocesan vicar Bishops George of Mayfield and Jerome of Manhattan.

I hereby request that all clergy in receipt hereof to be in attendance to share in the joy of our brotherly, Paschal concelebration at Christ’s Holy Altar. Please bring your red vestments and proper head covering, and be vested in the cathedral by 9:30 AM (greeting at 10:00 AM).

With love in Christ,

+HILARION
Metropolitan of Eastern America & New York
First Hierarch of the Russian Church Abroad
