FR. ANTONY PAUL'S DEPARTURE
This past Sunday the church celebrated Father Antony Paul's service for St. Basil with a picnic at Nobel Park. Unfortunately, due to his illness, he will be spending the summer in Canada on an education ministry. Abouna Antony Paul has been a true blessing to this congregation and his love and service for us will continue despite the distance. If you did not get a chance to speak with Abouna, please email him at priest@stbasil.net.
