The Camp has really nice swimming and boating facilities on the lake with lifeguards attending. The Camp is located at 110 Sycamore Avenue, Marlton, NJ 08053. We need volunteers to help with set up, picnic work, and tear down. Please contact Council President Suzanne Veres to help to make this event even more enjoyable than it was last year. Thank you.

July 5 Sermon

In the early days of the 4^th century AD, the persecution of Christians under Emperor Maximian was in full swing. More than a decade before St. Constantine would see the image of the Life Giving Cross in the sky over the Milvian Bridge over the Tiber in Rome (by which Sign he did indeed Conquer, winning the crucial battle over Maximian’s son) a Roman army officer named Zeno was stationed in Anatolia, the land we now call Turkey, subject to the control of the governor Maximus. When the Emperor Maximian ordered Maximus to crack down on Christians, Zeno refused to renounce Christ and was thrown into prison and tortured, along with his own servant Zenas. Both of these martyrs who stood up for a new idea in which they really believed are commemorated every July 5^th.

St Tikhon Akathist and Lecture

On Saturday, April 25, the Atlantic States Deanery gathered at St. Michael the Archangel Church in Philadelphia to honor the legacy of St. Tikhon, Patriarch of Moscow. The day began with an Akathist service led by Dean John Vass and regional clergy. After the service, there was a lecture by Dr. Scott Kenworthy on his new book, The People’s Patriarch. At the conclusion of Professor Kenworthy's lecture, Fr. Gregory and Suzanne Veres, St. Michael Council President, presented Fr. John with an icon of St. Michael the Archangel in remembrance of the 25th Anniversary of his ordination to the Holy Priesthood (dating back to feastday of the Nativity of Our Lord on January 7, 2026) and in thanks for his ever continuing help and sage guidance to St. Michael the Archangel Church as Dean of the Atlantic States Deanery and as friend of the parish. Monogaya lyeta was then sung by those in attendance supplicating God to grant Fr. John Many Years!

Icon Museum and Study Center

As reported on the website of the Patriarchal Parishes, the wonderful Icon Museum and Study Center,(formerly the Museum of Russian Icons) in Clinton Massachusetts (that Matushka and Fr. Gregory have visited a number of times) is featuring an incredible collection of icons dating from the 1600s. As you can read, our Bishop Matthew has blessed this exhibition. The exhibition runs through August of this year. We intend to gauge the possibility of offering a bus trip to the museum later in the summer.
