Today was a glorious day for God and his church: a new Byzantine Catholic priest served his first Divine Liturgy. All done for God’s greater glory!
The newly ordained priest, Father Stephen Russo, was ordained priest by the Most Reverend Kurt Burnett last week at the Passaic Eparchy’s clergy conference in New Jersey. And today was the first Divine Liturgy served at St Nicholas Byzantine Church (Danbury, CT). As you can see from the photo the friends and family of Father Stephen.
The presence of a new priest gives great joy to God and to all the faithful.
May Father Stephen have many healthy and fruitful years.
Now is the time to re-build the Church as St Francis of Assisi set out to do!
