While passing through Toronto from the Holy Land pilgrimage to a meeting of the Holy Synod in Colorado, I was informed that a sister of Vladyka Irenee, Raymonde, suffered a series of strokes and reposed in the Lord on the evening of 22 April.
Please pray for her, and for Vladyka Irenee.
Love in Christ,

Dear Brothers,

Please pray for the new Deacon Spencer A Estabrooks, for his wife Irene, and their family, of Winnipeg. He was ordained this morning at Holy Trinity Sobor by Vladyka Irenee.
Tomorrow morning, at St Nicholas' Church, Narol, he will be (God willing) ordained by Vladyka Irenee to the Holy Priesthood, and assigned Priest in Charge of the Mission of the Life-giving Spring in Winnipeg.
Love in Christ,

Dear Brothers,
I just received a note from the Chancery in New York, and a call from Bishop Nikon.
Archbishop JOB of Chicago suddenly reposed during the night on Friday, December 18, 2009, apparently from what he had himself thought was pneumonia.
He was on his usual pastoral rounds.
Memory Eternal. Please Pray!
Love in Christ,
+Seraphim
