1908 ASSEMBLY OF OUR CENTENNIAL YEAR 2008
Dear Father, Parish Chair and delegates,
You are cordially invited to attend the Annual Assembly of the Archdiocese to be held in
As you know, the Bishop and last Assembly resolved that all diocesan parishes will close for that Sunday, so that we may celebrate our Centennial Year and worship together. Your parishioners who cannot be present together with us may worship at other local Orthodox parishes that day.
His Grace, Bishop Nikon has announced that His Eminence, Metropolitan Joan (Pelushi) of Korce shall be present to concelebrate hierarchal liturgy and share in the culmination of our Centennial Year. His Grace Bishop Ilia (Katre) of Philomelion will be present for the Grand Gala as well.
The Centennial committee is pleased that actor James Belushi is a special guest for the Grand Gala.
Herewith are attached reference documents for your consultation. There is no Registration fee for this year's Assembly as the Grand Gala shall serve as our usual banquet. Please be sure you make reservations for that stellar event.
As decided, parishes will be compensated for air travel of their delegates for the assembly. See attachment for this provision. We look forward to providing a wonderful ambience for our proceedings.
Please share this information with your parish council and delegates. Kindly make a hard copy and bring to the Assembly.
In Christ,
Fr. Arthur+
Very Rev. Arthur E. Liolin
Chancellor
