This year election day is the same day as the feast of St. Demetrius the Great Martyr – November 8. According to our blessing from Archbishop Peter that we serve liturgy yearly on this feast having placed the relics of the Great Martyr Demetrius in the foundation of our parish church, we will again this year, God-willing, be able to serve liturgy on November 8. Perhaps it will be a good idea to serve liturgy on election day for all Presidential elections, but it certainly seems the right thing to do this year, when America is so divided over and disappointed in the candidates that are on offer. Please join us for the feast of St. Demetrius and in prayer for our country as we ask the Lord to guide all to make good decisions about who they will vote for on November 8.
