On this day in 2003 – 15 years ago, the feast of the Preeminent Apostles Peter & Paul, His Eminence Archbishop Peter was consecrated Bishop of Cleveland, Vicar of the Diocese of Chicago & Detroit at the Diocesan Cathedral of the Protection of the Mother of God in Des Plaines, IL. We ask the prayers of all the faithful of our diocese on this auspicious day for our spiritual leader – that the Merciful Lord may grant him many years of service in His Vineyard! Archbishop Peter served Liturgy today at the Serbian Podvorie in Moscow, as His Eminence is travelling to Ekaterinburg to participate in the memorial services there marking the 100th anniversary of the murder of the Royal Martyrs of Russia. More information on the service in Moscow will be posted soon.
