The 25th anniversary of Fr Ilyan's elevation to the priesthood

Yesterday marked the 21st anniversary of Fr Ilyan's ordination to the priesthood by Bishop Gibran on the 27th of September 1987.

Fr Ilyan first served the parish of St Ignatius in Auckland before coming to serve at St Micheal's, Dunedin in October 1992, sixteen years ago next month.

I am sure all parishioners past and present join us in congratulating Fr Ilyan on this occasion and thanking him for his service to our parish .


Reminder

There will be no Divine Liturgy at St Michael's this morning or next Sunday since Fr Ilyan is taking a well earned vacation.

Dn Andrei will be conducting the typika service in it place starting at 10 am.
