Gulf of Mexico Churches Spared by Hurricane Humberto
Bishop Basil, Bishop of Wichita and the Diocese of Mid-America, reports that the parishes of St. Michael in Beaumont, Texas, and St. John the Divine in Lake Charles, Louisiana, were spared serious damage as a result of Hurricane Humberto which struck the region last week. The greatest inconveniences were the power outage and, in a very few instances, minor leaks caused by the high winds which forced the rain under shingles and through the smallest of spaces around doors and windows. The clergy of the parishes give glory to God for his protection and extend gratitude to those who inquired and prayed for them.
The One-year Memorial of OCMC Missionary Lynette Hoppe
by OCMC Missionary, Georgia Gillman
This August 26th, the Liturgy was filled with a special grace. His Eminence Archbishop Anastasios of Albania remembered Lynette during the Liturgy and afterwards he said a few words, with much love, about Lynette to all the people before they started the memorial service.
After Raimonda and a few of us finished passing out the koliva, about 20 of us drove out to Shen Vlash where Lynette is buried. It is a lovely place. When I got there I was amazed by the grave stone. It stands taller than 6 feet. It has beautiful mosaics on both sides. On the back side is the Resurrection and I think it says "Une jam jeta dhe ngjallja" at the bottom. On the other side is St. Katherine with Lynette's name and the dates of her
birth and death beneath.
The Archbishop read the trisagion prayers, some in English and some in Albanian. He reminded us that St. John Chrysostom once said "You honor the martyrs and saints by becoming like them", and so he encouraged us
to remember Lynette's goodness and the depth of her spiritual life by trying to become like her.
