On Saturday January 1st 2011 our parish began its new year with a "new birth by water and the spirit". Phoebe Firestine was Baptized and Chrismated into the Holy Orthodox Christian faith... and to the amazement of all, she was so pleased with everything she didn't even cry! We congratulate her parents Sean and Jennifer Firestine, along with sisters Grace and Evelyn, as well as her godparents Mark and Christina Yerke. The following day, Phoebe received the Holy Eucharist and was fully united with our community through the Precious Body and Blood of Christ!
