The faithful of St. Paul Church in Las Vegas, Nevada, welcomed His Grace, Bishop Benjamin, for an archpastoral visit on March 28-29. During the visit, Reader Jon Failla was ordained to the subdiaconate, increasing the joy of the parish. His Grace also gave a stirring sermon walking everyone from Zacchaeus to the suffering young man healed of seizures by Christ.

This was the first visit of His Grace to the parish since the assignment of Archpriest John Dresko to the pastorate of the parish. Following a joyful and beautiful Divine Liturgy, the parish prepared a delicious lenten luncheon in the parish hall.
