Bishop Mitrophan visited St. Sava Church in Boston

On Saturday, September 13th, 2014, His Grace Bishop Mitrophan visited St. Sava Church in Boston. His Grace came to the parish in the afternoon and immediately headed to visit the church and church hall premises which were devastated in the recent floods in late July. His Grace had the first hand opportunity to see the extent of the damage that befell the Boston parish. Currently, the first phase of work, which includes demolition of the damaged walls, and drying and anti-microbial treatment, is completed. The next stage is the development of a protective mechanism to prevent future flooding and then the restoration of the church hall.

After touring the damaged premises, Bishop Mitrophan attended the Vespers service served by the local priest, Fr. Aleksandar Vlajković. After Vespers, and after a brief conversation with parishioners, Bishop Mitrophan headed for the Portland, Maine where he will attend the Slava celebration next day for the Portland parish. Parishioners took the blessing from His Grace and  thanked him for his visit, especially at this time when they were struck with flooding.
