The St. Tikhon’s Community was pleased to have with us this week the newly consecrated Bishop Paul (Gassios), Bishop of the Diocese of the Midwest. His Grace has been visiting with us on retreat and meeting with seminarians from his diocese.

On Wednesday, February 4, 2015 His Grace addressed the students during lunch and encouraged them to reflect on what it means to be the local Church while they receiving their theological training and to attempt to keep this reality in mind throughout their lives as they minister to a world that continues to become ever more polarizing.

We would like to thank His Grace Bishop Paul for visiting with us and we look forward to his visiting with us again in the near future.
