Today, we had a beautiful Vidovdan celebration at our St. Luke church. The church was filled to capacity with faithful attendees, and the choir's responses were beautiful. Following the Divine Liturgy, a Memorial service was held to honor the fallen heroes of the Kosovo battle and all those who have made the ultimate sacrifice in defense of freedom. Father Dragoljub delivered a powerful sermon on the significance of Vidovdan and the importance of sacrifice. Marina Popovich and her daughters, Adriana and Tatiana, prepared a Lenten luncheon. A moving Vidovdan program was presented by the young girls of our parish, and it was a pleasure to listen to their beautiful voices. The solo performance of Vidovdan by Sofija Radivojevic was beautiful and inspiring.

Hristos Voskrese! Vaistinu Voskrese!! ☦️ What a truly beautiful and joy-filled Pascha celebration. From the peaceful, reverent liturgy to the powerful voices of our incredible choir, every moment felt filled with grace.

The blessing of the eggs, a delicious luncheon shared with our church family, and a special new tradition of signing the church walls made the day even more meaningful. And of course… dancing the day away together, celebrating joy, faith and community.

We are ever so grateful for these moments, for our parishioners and for the joy of the Resurrection that brings us all together.
