Visit from Archbishop Mark - October 22nd, 2023

On October 22nd, 2023, we were blessed to have His Eminence, Archbishop Mark, co-celebrate Divine Liturgy with Father Aleksey Paranyuk. Following Divine Liturgy, everyone was invited to partake in a lunch.

View from the choir loft of the Royal Doors and with Archbishop Mark just inside facing the alter, with his back facing parishioners.

View from the choir loft of Father Aleksey standing at a lecturn in front of the Royal Doors, facing and reading to the congregation.

Photo of Archbiship Mark, who is standing in front of the iconostas while speaking to the congregation.

Photo from the luncheon. View of a paneled wall with two windows cut out through which four women can be seen. The two in the right window are stirring something in pots that are on the counter, and the two in the left view are waiting for parishioners to approach to receive food. There are two men visible in the picture, one on either side of the frame, both looking off to the left. Three icons are located above the two windows in the paneled wall.

Photo from the luncheon. A man and a woman are posing while standing behind a buffet table that is covered with food atop a red, plastic tablecloth. The table is perpendicular to a wall on the left that has windows in it, through which workers in the kitchen can hand food to those attending the luncheon. Two women working in the kitchen are visible through the windows, and three men are visible behind the two people at the buffet table mentioned earlier.

Photo from the luncheon. A long table, covered in a white tablecloth runs perpendicular from the center of the photo to the back wall. Attendees are seated along both sides of the table and are eating. A woman on the right, a third of the way down the table, is looking at the camera, but everyone else is eating or engaged in converstation. Part a second table is visible in the middle-left part of the frame, with a few people seen there.

Photo from the luncheon. View of roughly half of a long table running from the lower left corner and extending to the right-hand third of the frame. The table is covered by a white tablecloth, and people are seated on both sides of the table while eating and/or talking.

Photo from the luncheon. View of the far end of the table, which extends from the lower right corner of the frame to roughly a third of the way up the left side. The table is covered with a white tablecloth, and people are seated on either side while eating and talking. The four people visible on the left (or near) side have their backs facing the camera. Five people are shown on the far side, with a man at the far end (on the left) standing.

Photo from the luncheon. View of the far end of the table, which fills the lower left corner of the frame. This photo was taken from the side opposite from the previous photo. The table is (still!) covered with a white tablecloth, and people are seated on either side while eating and talking. There's a young boy in the lower right corner, facing the camera but looking just to the camera's left. A similar long table is visible in the background, and there are about six people at that table. Two men are talking at the far end, and a woman and two girls are standing with their backs facing the camera. The top of another head is partially visible between the woman and girls.

Photo from the luncheon. Somewhat wide view of the church hall showing two tables of parishioners sitting at the tables while talking and eating. A few people are standing, and a woman at the left edge of the frame appears to be looking at something on the wall that is out of frame.
