Great Dormition gathering in Sarengrad

- We often go left and right, we go the way of sin, the way of worldly troubles and anxieties, which burden us. We must always return to the Lord, through tears, through repentance, through prayer and fasting. Thus, the work we are doing here on earth will have a hundredfold fruit and will be counted among the goods that will be collected, which will be seen, in order to achieve that fullness of reality in the Kingdom of Heaven, Diocesan Bishop Heruvim said in his sermon.

On the Saturday and Sunday, August 22 and 23, 2020, a great Dormition gathering was marked in the church of the Holy Archangels Michael and Gabriel in Sarengrad. On the eve of the gathering, priests of the deanery of Vukovar served a solemn evening service and acathist to the Most Holy Mother of God in front of the Miraculous Icon of the Most Holy Mother of God of Sarengrad.

On that Sunday, when the Church celebrates the Holy Martyr and Archdeacon Lawrence, the Holy hierarchal Liturgy was presided over by His Grace Heruvim, Bishop of Osijek-Polje and Baranja,  with concelebration of the priests of the Vukovar deanery.
