The mission community of Saint Andrew the Apostle, Lewes, Delaware, welcomed His Grace, Bishop Thomas for a most blessed weekend November 19th and 20th. Also joining in the very special weekend observances was Father Nicholas Alford of the Church of Saint Gregory, Washington, D.C. along with the Deacon Raphael Garcia and a number of parishioners from D.C.. Also coming for the weekend were Father Adrian Budica and Khouriye Viktoriia from the Saint Nicholas Cathedral in Brooklyn, NY. And also present were Subdeacons Joseph Kavchok from Saint Paul, Emmaus, PA, Jason Flowers from the Holy Ascension Mission, West Chester, PA and Benjamin Daniel of Saint Philip, Souderton, PA. A very delicious supper was furnished by the Antiochian Women of Saint Andrew following the Vespers Saturday evening.

Our parishioners and visitors packed the Grange Hall for the Sunday Orthros and Hierarchical Divine Liturgy, during which Deacon Raphael was elevated to the Holy Priesthood. AXIOS! May God grant Father Raphael and his Khouriye Josephine Many Years! After the Liturgy, Sayidna and the clergy and our parishioners and visitors were hosted to a festive buffet at the spacious home of parishioners.

Bishop Thomas spoke encouraging words to the mission urging us to continue to grow and reach out to those around us as we prepare to build a church to serve southern Delaware. (Note: as of this writing the church plan has been approved by Sussex County Planning and Zoning).

We are your Orthodox Church away from home, whether you are a beach visitor, a second home visitor, or a second home owner and planning to relocate to the area. You are welcome!
