Saint John the Baptist Orthodox Church Come, let us praise the saints of North America: holy hierarchs, venerable monastics and glorious martyrs, pious men, women and Saint John the Baptist Orthodox Church children, both known and unknown! Through their words and Orthodox Church in America + Diocese of New York & New Jersey deeds, in various walks of life, by the grace of the Spirit they achieved true holiness. Now as they stand in the presence of Christ 855 Goodman Street South ~ Rochester NY 14620 Who glorified them, they pray for us who celebrate their memory Very Reverend Ken James Stavrevsky, Rector with love. Proto-Deacon Stephen Sweet Reverend Deacon Sean McNulty SaintJohnOrthodox.org [email protected] Fr. Ken: 585-770-3496 Come, let us assemble today and glorify the luminaries of the North American lands: the glorious martyrs and holy bishops who confirmed our faith, the righteous dwellers in the wilderness and guides of the spiritual life! Let us cry out to them in joy: “All Saints of North America, known and unknown, pray to God for us!” As the brightest sun, as the brilliance of the Morning Star, the precious feast of the saints of North America has dawned for us to illumine us and to set our hearts on fire, to imitate their godly lives, and to follow their example of zeal for God. Rejoice, O mountains of Pennsylvania; leap for joy, O waters of the Great Lakes; rise up, O fertile plains of Canada; for the elect of Christ who dwelt in you are glorified -- men and women who left their homes for a new land! With faith, hope and patience as their armor they courageously fought the good fight. Comforted by the beauty of the Orthodox Faith they labored in mines and mills, they tilled the land, they braved the challenges of the great cities enduring many hardships and sufferings. Never failing to worship God in spirit and truth and unyielding in devotion to His most pure Mother, they erected many temples to His glory. Come, O assembly of the Orthodox! With love let us praise the holy women, men and children, those known to us and those known only to God, and let us cry out to them: “Rejoice, All Saints of North America and pray to God for us!” on the bulletin cover: Matushka Olga Michael (not yet glorified by canonization) Father Alexander Hotovitzky ~ Father Alexis of Wilkes-Barre PA ~ Basil Martysz hieromartyr in Poland ~ Brendan the Navigator of Canada ~ Herman of Alaska ~ Bishop Innocent of Alaska ~ Father Jacob Netsvetov ~ Father John Kochurov ~ Archbishop John (Maximovitch) of San Francisco ~ Father Juvenaly of Alaska ~ Bishop Nicholas (Velimirović) Ziča & rector of St. Tikhon's Seminary ~ Peter the Aleut first-martyr of America ~ Bishop Raphael (Hawaweeny) of Brooklyn NY ~ Father Seraphim (Samoylovich) of Uglich, missionary in Alaska and hieromartyr ~ Tikhon of San Fransciso & Patriarch Moscow ~ Barnabas (Nastić), the New Confessor, born in Gary, Indiana ~ Archimandrite aint ohn the aptist rthodox hurch S J B O C Sebastian (Dabovich) "Serbian Apostle to America" & first Orthodox priest born in USA Sunday -- June 28, 2015 9:45 a.m. Reading of the Hours 10:00 a.m. Divine Liturgy TODAY 12:00 p.m. Fellowship/Coffee Hour 9:45 a.m. Reading of the Hours (hosted by Gus & Amy Platas and Aria McGraw) 10:00 a.m. Divine Liturgy 12:00 p.m. Fellowship/Coffee Hour (hosted by Val & Dana Popa) Birthdays & Anniversaries this week and last .

OF AMERICA Nativity Encyclical 2014 Beloved children in the Lord, Christ is Born! Glorify Him! On this year’s feast of our Lord’s Nativity in the Flesh, I think it is appropriate for us to reflect upon the blessings God has granted us during the past year; and moreover, why He has granted such blessings. The Lord’s Nativity brings us new life; it renews Christ’s grace within us. In the exaposteilarion of the feast, we chant “the Lord hath visited His people from on High.” This year, we are able to perceive the Lord’s visitation very clearly in light of the blessed union of True Orthodox Christians which we all have so earnestly desired. We are now witnesses of the great mystery of unity. “Behold what is so joyous as for brethren to dwell together in unity!” After decades of separation, the Church has victoriously triumphed! I believe that this miracle has taken place primarily through the intercessions of the saints of modern times. Here in America, three groups that were separated in the past - the GOC, the majority of HOCNA, and the Synod in Resistance - are now united under the protection of our Mother Church of Greece. Yet though we belong to the Greek Church, one of the things which makes our local church of America unique is the fact that all of us have roots in the Russian Orthodox Church Abroad.

Archimandrite Sebastian Dabovich SERBIAN ORTHODOX APOSTLE TO AMERICA by Hieromonk Damascene . A A U S during the presidency of Abraham Lincoln, Archimandrite B Sebastian Dabovich has the distinction of being the first person born in the United States of America to be ordained as an Orthodox priest, 1 and also the first native-born American to be tonsured as an Orthodox monk. His greatest distinction, however, lies in the tremen- dous apostolic, pastoral, and literary work that he accomplished dur- ing the forty-eight years of his priestly ministry. Known as the “Father of Serbian Orthodoxy in America,” 2 he was responsible for the found- ing of the first Serbian churches in the New World. This, however, was only one part of his life’s work, for he tirelessly and zealously sought to spread the Orthodox Faith to all peoples, wherever he was called. He was an Orthodox apostle of universal significance. Describing the vast scope of Fr. Sebastian’s missionary activity, Bishop Irinej (Dobrijevic) of Australia and New Zealand has written: 1 Alaskan-born priests were ordained before Fr. Sebastian, but this was when Alaska was still part of Russia. 2 Mirko Dobrijevic (later Irinej, Bishop of Australia and New Zealand), “The First American Serbian Apostle—Archimandrite Sebastian Dabovich,” Again, vol. 16, no. 4 (December 1993), pp. 13–14.
