Sunday, February 21, 2010 at 5pm, the Sunday of Orthodoxy Vesper Service was hosted at St. Andrew Ukrainian Orthodox Church
 

There were four visiting priests: Fr. Anthony Hughes, pastor of St. Mary Orthodox Church, Cambridge, MA (Antiochian), Fr. John Bacon, pastor of Nativity of the Virgin Mary Orthodox Church, Chelsea, MA, (OCA), homilist for the service, Fr. Michael Kohn, cleric of Holy Resurrection Eastern Orthodox Church, Allston, MA (Bulgarian) and Fr.

Alexander Scott, of St. John of Damascus Antiochian Orthodox Church, Dedham, MA (Antiochian) Fr. Jeffry Smith, of St. Mary Orthodox Church, Cambridge, MA (Antiochian) and altar servers who celebrated with our own V. Rev. Roman Tarnavsky, Heirodeacon Vasyl and Fr. Dn. Borislav Kroner. The choir, under the direction of Jane Yavarow, welcomed singers from surrounding parishes to render the responses. Over 100 worshipers gathered to pray together. After the service, all were invited to a reception of Lenten treats prepared by many generous parishioners. This was a wonderful and rare opportunity for members of the Greater Boston Orthodox community to come together in fellowship.
