SERBIAN PRIEST FEATURED IN CLEVELAND NEWSPAPER
Cleveland, OH - A moving article appeared in the Cleveland newspaper, the Plain Dealer, on Sunday November 14, 2004 featuring V. Rev. Vasilije Sokolovic, retired parish priest formerly of St. Sava in Parma. The article described how Fr. Vasilije's father, Fr. Budimir Sokolovic, who was executed in 1945 with his remains buried in a field where no one could find them, is now expected to be canonized a priest-martyr at next year's assembly of bishops in Belgrade. An icon is being made and Orthodox Christians worldwide will be able to celebrate July 11 as a feast to St. Budimir of Dobrun and 29 other WWII martyrs.
