previously serviced the occasional needs of the faithful.

Milan to formally present the petition for a new parish by reading the same aloud. His Grace asked to be presented with the list of petitioners to determine if the constitutionally required number of 40 heads of households had been achieved. To everyone’s delight, over double the necessary signatures had been consigned to writing and presented. In seeking the consensus of the faithful for the naming of the parish, the clear majority choice was the Feast of the Meeting of the Lord, also known as the Feast of the Presentation of the Lord or, in Serbian, Sretenje Gospodnje (“Meeting of Our Lord”). The choice was received with great enthusiasm and a joyous ovation! The special historical meaning for the Serbian people of Sretenje, which is also celebrated as Serbian National Day. For it was on Sretenje that the First Serbian Uprising against the Ottoman occupiers was initiated in 1804, and the first Constitution of an independent Principality of Serbia was issued on Sretenje in 1835, known as the Sretenje Constitution.

Dear brothers and sisters,
Tomorrow is the Saturday of Souls before Pentecost.
Since the Divine Liturgy is the time in which the Lord fully unites us with all those who lived before us, we will begin this day precisely in that way. The Divine Liturgy will begin at 9:00 AM at St. Paul Church. Come so that we may gather together — “we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord” (cf. 1 Thess.) — and remember our departed loved ones whom we ask the Lord to remember in His Kingdom.
Please bring koliva (boiled wheat) and the names of the departed for commemoration, even if your loved ones are not buried in Naples, because prayer transcends both space and time.
After the Divine Liturgy, at 11:00 AM, we will visit the holy places where our beloved await the resurrection of the dead and the life of the age to come: Naples Memorial Gardens, beginning at the grave of Fr. Alexander.
May their memory be eternal!

Драга браћо и сестре!
Сутра су Духовске задушнице!
Будући да је Света Литургија време у ком нас Господ у потпуности сједињује са свима који су живели пре нас, овај дан ћемо започети управо тако. Од 9 сати ујутро ће почети Литругија у цркви Св. Павла. Дођите да се саберемо “ми живи, ми који преостајемо до другог доласка Господњег” (уп. 1. Сол) и да се сетимо наших упокојених које желимо да Господ помене у Царству своме. Молим вас да донесете кољиво (кувано жито) и имена упокојених за помен иако ваши драги нису сахрањени у Нејплсу јер молитва надилази и простор и време!
Након Св. Литургије, од 11 часова посетићемо света места где наши вољени чекају васкрсење мртвих и живот будућег века: Naples Memorial Gardens, почевши од гроба о. Александра.
Вечан им спомен!

Драга браћо и сестре!
Данас завршавамо годишњу богослужбену прославу Празника над празницима - Васкрсење Христово и улазимо у нови дан, дан спасења - Вазнесење Господње - Спасовдан!
Четрдесет дана по свом васкрсењу Господ је још увек боравио међу људима да би се у четрдесети дан вазнео и “сео са десне стране Оца” тиме довршивши план спасења људске природе.
Сутра, у четвртак, 21. маја, ћемо празник Спасовдан прославити литургијски у цркви СВ. ДИМИТРИЈА, на 140 Price St, Naples, FL 34113 са почетком у 10 сати.

Dear brothers and sisters,
40 day celebration of the Feast of feasts - Great and Holy Pascha - Resurrection of our Lord and begin a new celebration: the feast of Ascension of our Lord Jesus Christ in heaven!
40 days after the Resurrection, our Lord would still remain among us, His people, and on 40th day He completed the plan of salvation bringing human nature to His heavenly Father where He “sits at the right hand”.
Tomorrow, on Thursday, 5/21, we will liturgically celebrate the feast at the ST. DEMETRIUS ORTHODOX CHURCH, 140 Price St, Naples, FL 34113 at 10 AM!
Blessed feast day!

Христос васкрсе, драги људи!
Имам једну молбу за све: један наш млади брачни пар управо завршава сезонски уговор. Међутим жена је у 9. месецу трудноће и не може да путује назад кући па смо у потрази за станом где би могли да остану током маја месеца. Термин је око 10. маја. Ако неко има празан стан или зна некога ко би повољно издао стан на месец дана било би одлично да им помогнемо. Молим вас да ми јавите ако знате за неко решење. Хвала унапред!
