We were blessed to have with us, on the grounds of St. Tikhon’s seminary and monastery, close to one hundred pilgrims belonging to two parishes of the Indian Orthodox Church.

Parishioners from St. Mary's Church from W.Sayville, NY with its vicar V.Rev. Paulose Adai Chorepiscopa, and St. Gregorios Church from Yonkers, NY with its vicar, Rev.Fr. Philip C. Abraham, arrived at the seminary on April 2nd at 10 am.

After opening prayers in the auditorium, they were treated to a moving and heart-felt devotional by Rev. Dn. Daniel Mackay on the importance of Orthodox Spirituality in our everyday life.

The group was then given a tour of the seminary building and grounds followed by Noon prayer, lunch and a tour of the Monastery Church, it's grounds, the museum and the bookstore.
