Patronal Feast Day of the St. Sergius of Radonezh Church – Valley Cottage, NY

On October 8, the St. Sergius of Radonezh Church at the Tolstoy Foundation celebrated its patronal feast day in honor of St. Sergius of Radonezh. By the grace of God, Archbishop Andronik visited the parish for the first time since his accident and celebrated the Divine Liturgy.

It was a wonderful event: many priests came from afar to serve with Father Gregory the rector. Father Dimitry came from Holy Trinity Church in Astoria for the All-night Vigil, and Father Dimitry and Hegumen Ignatiy joined Vladyka Andronik for the Divine Liturgy. Many members of the parishes of Astoria and Trenton came to pray to the miraculous saint and to support the parishioners of the Church of St. Sergius of Radonezh.

After the Divine Liturgy, parishioners and guests enjoyed a luncheon lovingly prepared by members of the church sisterhood.
