Highlights from 2023 Eparchial Pilgrimage

Last weekend, our Annual Eparchial Pilgrimage took place at the Shrine of Our Lady Mariapoch in Burton, Ohio. On Saturday, there was a Blessing of Water, Moleben to the Theotokos, Divine Liturgy, and an evening campfire and chat with Bishop Kurt. Sunday included Matins, activities for children and teens, a talk by Bishop Kurt on hope, and a Hierarchical Divine Liturgy.  Bishop Edward Malesic of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Cleveland concelebrated with Bishop Kurt and was our guest homilist.  The weather was warm and beautiful as many pilgrims came together to pray.  “Remember that every Sunday is a pilgrimage with Christ in the Eucharist and His mother, Mary, leads us to Him.” ~Bishop Malesic
