With the blessing of His Grace Bishop TIKHON, the elected members of the 2008-2009 Parish Council took the oath of office and were installed on Sunday, December 7th at the end of the Divine Liturgy. We ask that God will grant them the piety, wisdom, and strength to "work in union with Thy holy purpose, and in living unity with Thy beloved Son, our Lord, and God, and Saviour Jesus Christ, that by the power of Thine All-Holy Spirit, they may be inspired by the love of Thee and the desire to extend Thy Kingdom among others" (excerpt from Prayer at the Installtion of a Parish Council)
