On 18 August 2024, His Eminence Archbishop Nathaniel visited us and celebrated the Divine Liturgy together with our parish priest V. Rev. Fr. Horatiu Balanean. Immediately following the Liturgy, everyone present was invited to another delicious St. Mary Dinner in the parish hall, at which a surprise birthday cake was presented to Mrs. Mary Gataiant in anticipation of her 100th BIRTHDAY that week. Mrs. Gataiant, who still makes it to church almost every Sunday and other feast days, thanked everyone with her favorite greeting: “God loves you, and so do I!”
