On Tuesday September 19th, 2017, the SMSV community rejoiced at being led in the Divine Liturgy by an old friend and now beloved father, Fr. Suriel Costandi to celebrate the feast of the Cross. Fr. Suriel blessed us with a meditation on finding our satisfaction and peace in Christ alone. Following the Liturgy, the agape meal provided us with an opportunity to catch up with Fr. Suriel and enjoy fellowship with each other. We pray that God may bless His dear shepherd, and bless his ministry, and bless us with his presence among us again in the near future.
