Patronal Feast Day and 110 Year Anniversary

On July 6, 2025 the Clergy and parishioners of Nativity of Saint John the Baptist Church celebrated their patronal feast day and the 110th anniversary of the parish. The Festivities began with Divine Liturgy, at the end of which, the clergy and faithful processed around the church with banners and icons, blessing all sides of the church and concluding with a prayer to the heavenly patron of the community, Saint John the Baptist in front of the exterior icon of Saint John. Incorporated into the procession was an icon and relic of the newly glorified saint - the Righteous Matushka Olg of Alaska which will be available for veneration permanently in the parish with the blessing of the Administrator of the Patriarchal Parishes in the USA, Bishop Matthew of Sourozh.

​After the Sunday sermon, Fr. Mark especially congratulated Anna Petruccelli and Joan Strothers and James Levitsky on their birthdays. Additionally, the parish thanked Judy Van Beesel, Andrey Panarin, and Donna Worrall for their years of dedication to the parish by handing them letters of gratitude in celebration of the 110th anniversary. The festivities continued in the church hall where the community engaged in fellowship.
