Dear Friends of Saint Dumitru Monastery,

With the blessing of His Eminence Metropolitan Nicolae, we have the joy of inviting you to our summer feast day, the Ascension of the Lord, which we will celebrate on Saturday, May 23. Alongside His Eminence Metropolitan Nicolae, we are honored and humbled to host the miraculous, myrrh-streaming Hawaiian Iveron Icon, as well as the father abbot of Holy Putna Monastery, Archimandrite Melchisedec Velnic. The Divine Liturgy will begin at 10am. We look forward to seeing you.

In Christ, our Lord and Savior,
Abbot of Saint Dumitru Monastery
Archimandrite Ieremia and the brotherhood
