Today is the birthday of our hierarch, Archbishop BENJAMIN!
The Diocesan Council marked the occasion at its May 15th meeting in San Francisco with a cake at lunch, and the diocesan clergy sang many years to His Eminence at the end of the clergy retreat on May 23rd. Let us all today, the actual day, say a prayer for peace, health, salvation, and furtherance in every good thing, for the man who makes Christ present to us in our diocese — and MANY YEARS!
