Snow
The monastery received it’s first snowfall, for the season, just prior to Thanksgiving.
Our humble thanks…
Our holy brotherhood wishes to extend thanks to the many pilgrims that visited the monastery and took part in the monastic services and on the joyous (and hot) celebration of our feastday.
We are particularly grateful to the priests who joined us for our annual Monastery Pilgrimage, beginning with the Feast of Saint Olav of Norway, and ending with the Patronal Feast of the All-Merciful Saviour: Archpriest Alex Kotar, Saint Nicholas Russian Orthodox Cathedral, Seattle, WA.;
Priest John Calbom, second priest of Saint Nicholas; Archpriest Nicholas Letten, Annunciation Orthodox Church (OCA), Milwaukie, Oregon; Archpriest David Moser, Saint Seraphim of Sarov Russian Orthodox Church, Boise, Idaho; Priest Seraphim Majmudar, Saint Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church, Tacoma, WA.; Priest James Baglien, Saint Martin the Merciful Russian Orthodox Church, Corvallis, Oregon; Priest Sergei Sveshnikov, New Martyrs of Russia Orthodox Church, Mulino, Oregon; and Deacon James Bryant, Saint Paul Antiochan Orthodox Church, Brier, WA. Also, we were honored with an afternoon visit by Father Takla Azmy, Saint Mark’s Coptic Orthodox Church, Puyallup, WA. Additionally, we had Subdeacon Gideon, of Holy Resurrection Orthodox Church (OCA), in Puyallup, WA., Reader Tikhon, of the Kazan Mother of God Russian Orthodox Church, of San Francisco; and Reader Steven, of Saint Spiridon (OCA) Cathedral in Seattle, WA serve with us.
May God grant all a blessed and prosperous year until our next pilgrimage!
