FOURTH SUNDAY OF LENT VESPERS IN CLEVELAND PARISH

Cleveland, OH - The Lenten Vespers on the fourth Sunday of Lent, dedicated to St. John Climacus, are traditionally hosted by the St. Sava Cathedral in Cleveland Ohio for all churches in the Cleveland Deanery of the Diocese of Eastern America. This year, however, Great Vespers were served on the occasion of the eve of the great Feast of the Annunciation. Nine priests and one deacon served the Vespers while retired priest V. Rev. Stavrophor Vasilije Sokolovic sang at the chantor's stand.

Fr. Milovan Katanic of St. George in Hermitage, in his homily, spoke of the great gift of repentance the Church gives us during these days of the Great Fast. All proceeds from the dinner which followed the service benefitted our suffering Serbian people in Kosovo and Metohija.
