Pandemic Public Services in Michigan Deanery 
24/3/20, 12:00 PM
Posted by Fr. Gregory


On March 23, 2020, as the coronavirus pandemic continued to impact the Diocese of Chicago & Mid-America, His Eminence Archbishop Peter, having sought advice from several Orthodox Christian physicians, including an Infectious Disease specialist, reluctantly decided to close all temples of the diocese to public worship. The parishes of the Michigan Deanery are all effected by this decision and should act according to the information below, keeping in mind that Governor Whitmer's Executive Order is even more strict than the diocesan policy, and Rectors should see to it that the absolute minimum number of personnel necessary to hold services in each parish be present at the Divine Services. For all parishes of the deanery this should be less than 10 personnel including the clergy. Please contact Fr. Gregory with questions or concerns.

Archbishop Peter Instructional Letter 
18/3/20, 12:00 PM
Posted by Fr. Gregory


On March 17, 2020 His Eminence Archbishop Peter published an important instructional letter which is in force immediately in the Michigan Deanery. This is especially important in that, according to the Executive Order of Governor Whitmer, it is now illegal for more than 50 people to publicly gather in our state. Our parishes are effected by this order and must comply with it. Archbishop Peter explains in his letter how we are to deal with this unprecidented situation. Those with questions are asked to contact our Dean, Fr. Gregory Joyce.
