Hierarchical Liturgy, Elevation, and Baptism

  On July 19th, 2015, His Grace Bishop Dr Mitrophan celebrated the Holy Hierarchical Divine Liturgy at St Simeon Serbian Orthodox Church in North Miami, Florida. During the service, His Grace elevated Fr Svetozar Veselinovic to the rank of “Stavrophor” - or “Cross-Bearer.” Fr Svetozar was gifted with the distinction of wearing the pectoral cross. The community was further blessed as His Grace Bishop Dr Mitrophan baptized two children into the Holy Orthodox Faith.
