Dear Parishioners:

I am, by the grace of God and thanks to your prayers, back home safe and
sound, along with my nine students, who spent a remarkable five weeks
with me in Jerusalem. As exasperating as the Holy City can be, there is
no place like it, and every time I return, I have the strange feeling
that I belong there.

I will be spending the next few days in my office putting out the myriad
fires that sprung up while I was gone, but I will be back at the parish
this weekend. To that end, I send the schedule for Saturday and Sunday:

SATURDAY, 9 July-- 11 a.m., Baptism of Annika and Natalie Gardner, the
twin daughters of John and Bethany Gardner
SUNDAY, 10 July -- 9 a.m., Matins // 10 a.m., DIVINE LITURGY

I look forward to seeing you this weekend.

--Fr. Ted
