On October 16, 2005, We had a special visit with His Eminence +Bishop Martin dePorres, Rt. Rev. Fr. Christopher and Fr. Vlad. The Miraculous Staue was here in the Chapel and due to the many people visiting, we held the Holy Mass (Divine Liturgy) outside under tents. It was a very special day and the Liturgy was in honor of our Holy Mother Mary, the Theotokos.
