Dear Fathers,

Congratulations with the feast of the Theophany!

Please see attached flyer.

This year we mark two centenaries in our diocese: that of St. Tikhon Patriarch of Moscow, and that of St. Jonah of Hankow.

The St. Tikhon centenary will be a joint celebration with the OCA Midwest diocese at their diocesan cathedral in downtown Chicago - an altar where St. Tikhon served when he was the ruling hierarch of North America. Archbishop Gabriel has blessed this joint celebration.

In addition to the Divine Services on Saturday, February 22 (the day of the translation of the relics of St. Tikhon on both the old and new calendars), there will be a banquet and a joint choir concert by our Diocesan Cathedral Choir and the OCA Diocesan Cathedral Choir.

All our clergymen are welcome to attend, and URGED to attend. But we need to know who is coming. RSVP by replying to this email by 2/1/25. Include family that will be attending. Let's have a good, strong showing!

Please let me or your Dean know if you have any questions.

In Christ,

Fr. Gregory
