SERBIAN CHURCH IN HERMITAGE HOSTS ANNUAL SUNDAY OF ORTHODOXY CELEBRATION
Hermitage, Pa - The Pan Orthodox Clergy Association of Mercer and Lawrence Counties in Northwest Pennsylvania held their annual Sunday of Orthodoxy Vespers at the St. George Serbian Orthodox Church in Hermitage. Eight Orthodox clergy took part in the annual celebration. Fr. Andrew Gall of the Ukrainian Church delivered the homily. This small Pan Orthodox clergy association is made up mostly by the clergy of the Shenango Valley, a total of six parishes and combines with neighboring Lawrence County for annual events such as this.
The association is planning a Lenten Retreat this coming Saturday, to be led by Fr. Thomas Hopko. The Orthodox parishes also join in covering the costs of a billboard that announces Christ's Resurrection and brings awareness to the Orthodox presence in the community.
