NEW CHURCH AND PROPERTY IN NORTH CAROLINA
 
Kernersville, NC – His Grace Bishop Mitrophan of Eastern America visited the parish of St. Vasilije of Ostrog in Kernersville, North Carolina on Wednesday, July 26, 2006. The purpose of the bishop’s brief visit to this parish was to view the new property and the proposed plans for the church building.

Parish priest Fr. Dragan Zaric and parishioners were recently approached by developers interested in purchasing their current property. Having made an offer on the church property an agreement was finally made for the St. Vasilje parish to move from their current location to another location, also owned by the aforementioned developers, and according to the agreement, the developers would, in addition, build them a church.

During his brief stay Bishop Mitrophan viewed the new property and the church plans for which he gave his archpastoral blessings. Construction on the church is slated for this fall.
