On September 5-6, labor day weekend, by God's grace the Monastery
celebrated the memory of St. Job of Pochaev and honored the Mother of
God of Pochaev. On Saturday at 3pm there was a procession to the
Dormition Chapel were the icon of the Mother of God of Pochaev was
returned to the main cathedral of the Monastery. A moleben was served
with an Akathist to St. Job of Pochaev. His Grace Bishop George of
Mayfield presided in the services as well as clergy from various
parishes.
On the following before the liturgy, Sergei Jakubov, a graduate of
Holy Trinity Seminary, was tonsured a reader and during the liturgy

the Church. We would like to thank the clergy and faithful who
attended the services and prayed with us and wish the newly tonsured
reader Sergei and Deacon Andrei many years of service to the Church.
