Our Beloved Protodeacon Sergius fell asleep in the Lord on March 16th, 2022. Highlights of his funeral are here.

Deacon John had Protodeacon Sergius's cane placed in a memory box.  On July 10th, after liturgy, Fr. C. showed the parish the framed cane.  The cane will remain in the altar-the place most loved by PdnS and a reminder of PdnS to all serving at the altar.  Thank you Dcn. John for coordinating this heartfelt recognition project.
