Many Years to Fr. Danaks (Fr. Dennis)

We welcomed Fr. Danaks (Fr. Dennis Rhodes) again to St. George on Sunday, September 22nd to serve Divine Liturgy for us.  Fr. Danaks was tonsured as a Hieromonk (a priest-monk) on Friday, Sept 20th (see additional info below).  St. George sang Many Years after Divine Liturgy to him, and celebrated with a cake at Coffee Hour in the Church Hall.  There are several photos below from the Sunday, Sept 22nd Divine Liturgy service at St. George.  May God grant Fr. Danaks Many Years!
 
The opening paraklesis on Friday morning, Sept 20th, of the Albanian Archdiocese Annual Assembly included the monastic tonsure of Fr. Dennis Rhodes. Fr. Dennis is now known as Hieromonk Danaks (honoring the 2nd century Albanian martyr).  Fr. Danaks (Fr. Dennis) served as our parish priest for 8 years, from September 2010 until September 2018.  
 
The two liturgical services at the Assembly (Friday 9AM opening prayers with Fr Dennis' monastic tonsure, and the Saturday 10AM Hierarchal Divine Liturgy with ordination of Dn Jushin Skhurti, memorial service and prayers) will be aired live and available afterwards on the St. Peter & Paul parish's YouTube channel:   https://www.youtube.com/@sspeterpaulorthodoxchurcho1810   Additionally, you may click onto the following link at the Albanian Orthodox Archdiocese website, under "Assembly in Philadelphia" to view photos from the Friday opening prayers with Fr.
