The Diocese of New England is celebrating the 15th anniversary of the ordination of His Grace, Bishop Benedict, to the Holy Priesthood on the eve of the feast of his patron saint, Ven. Benedict of Nursia. Clergy and faithful will be assembling for a Hierarchical Liturgy of Presanctified Gifts at 6:30 PM on Thursday, March 13, at SS. Peter & Paul Orthodox Church, Meriden.

The Diocesan Choir will serve as the choir for this service. All are welcome for a lenten supper afterward.

May God grant His Grace, the Right Reverend Benedict, Bishop of Hartford and New England, many blessed years!
