First Liturgy at New St. John's Church in Hermitage (3/24/2013)

The first Divine Liturgy at the new Saint John's Church in Hermitage (formerly of Sharon) PA was held on Sunday, March 24th, 2013.

Prior to the Liturgy, all gathered in the new fellowship hall, and then went in procession from the hall to the entrance of the new church.

At the entrance of the Church, a prayer was offered, and then everyone entered into the church--many for the first time.

Before the beginning of the Divine Liturgy, Fr. David and Protopresbyter Michael Polanichka offered prayers of blessing, and sprinkled the church with holy water.
