This historic visit began on January 13th with celebration of All-Night Vigil services for the feast of the Circumcision of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. The Orthodox Church also celebrates the memory of Our Holy Father St. Basil the Great on the same day. His Grace, Bishop +Michael pointed out to those attending the All-Night Vigil the true meaning of hospitality, exemplified in the life of St. Basil the Great. His Grace also told the faithful of St. Mary’s that the memory of Saint Basil, should challenge each of us to strive to imitate his life especially when it comes to caring for the less fortunate among us- the sick, the poor, the hungry, the widows and the orphans. Immediately after the All-Night Vigil every one was invited to the parish hall for a dinner and time of fellowship during which His Grace, Bishop +Michael made sure to meet and talk with every one who attended.

The next day, January 14th, 2011 the Feast of the Circumcision of Our Lord the Hierarchical Divine Liturgy was celebrated by His Grace, Bishop +Michael and the local clergy. During the Divine Liturgy Bishop +Michael bestowed kamilavka onto Protodeacon John Morvay in recognition of his faithful service to the St. Mary’s Church and to the Orthodox Church in America.

During his homily, His Grace Bishop +Michael reflected upon the significance of the Feast of Circumcision of Our Lord:

After the celebration of the Hierarchical Divine Liturgy once again every one was invited to the parish hall for a festive dinner.

Additional pictures and videos from the celebration will be available in the upcoming days.
