The Very Reverend Lawrence  Gaudreau will be joining our Parish on July 1, 2017.  He comes to us from the Ss. Constantine and Helen/Holy Theophany Church in Colorado Springs, Colorado, where he currently serves as a priest.

Overseeing our life as a mission parish is our Archbishop Benjamin. His Eminence Benjamin is Archbishop of the Diocese of the West, and serves together with his fellow bishops on the Holy Synod of The Orthodox Church in America. Archbishop Benjamin was enthroned as the first-pastor of the Diocese of the West in 2007.  

"Vladika" is the Slavic way of referring to a bishop, and has become a kind of term of endearment by the faithful and clergy in his care. May God grant Archbishop Benjamin many, many years of fruitful ministry in the sizable vineyard of the Diocese of the West!
