A beloved saint in America is our Venerable Father Herman of Alaska, whom we will commemorate with Great Vespers on Thursday, Dec. 12, at 6 PM, and Divine Liturgy on Friday, Dec. 13, at 9:30 AM.

This humble, prayerful and loving saint is the first canonized in America. As we prepare our hearts to receive our Lord Jesus Christ during the Nativity Fast, Venerable Father Herman, pray for us!
