Today our parish in Lake Odessa celebrates its second feast day (the main feast day is July 27/August 9 annually). This is the only parish in our diocese named after St. Herman of Alaska. Do you know about this first American saint? If not, please read below to learn more. We should know the saints of the parishes in our state – especially the first American saint – the Venerable Herman!

Congratulations for Fr. Michael, Fr. Elias and the faithful in Lake Odessa with their third Pascha!
