Michel Baik and Steven Velazquez, two firefighters, lost their lives last week in the line of duty.  Our sympathies and prayers go out to their families. 

Michel was a parishioner of St. Nicholas Orthodox Church on Park Avenue in Bridgeport.  He is survived by his wife, Laurie, and children Andrew, Thomas, and Margaret. 

This month’s charity collection is for the children of Michel Baik.
