ØI am happy to report that we have 40 people signed up for this event on Saturday, August 2^nd.  We will have a small bus departing from the church parking lot at 9:00am sharp with projected arrival at the Monastery at 10am.  We will be attending a short prayer service in the chapel, followed by a discussion with Father Joseph and lunch served by the monks.  If time allows, a short tour of the property and the grounds will be given.  The plan is to leave the Monastery at 1:30pm and return to the church parking lot at 2:30pm.  Donations to the church to help offset the cost of the bus are appreciated but not required and should be made out to the Annunciation Cathedral.

ØDress Code: All ladies must bring a scarf/head covering to wear while we are in the chapel.  Ladies are also required to wear long skirts or dresses that are below the knee.  Men should wear long pants and shirts with a collar.  We must respect the rules provided to us by the Monastery.   

Thank you! Will Lianos.
