Nativity Retreat 2022!

We were blessed to have Archimandrite Sergius (Bowyer), the Abbot of St. Tikhon's Monastery and author of Acquiring the Mind of Christ: Embracing the Vision of the Orthodox Church, with us for our Nativity Retreat. Fr. Sergius brought the miracle-working icon of St. Anna with him to St. Innocent. These pictures are from our greeting of the Icon of St. Anna, Fr. Sergius's talk, Vespers with the Moleben to St. Anna, and the Divine Liturgy the next day.
Fr. Sergius gave a talk on the Heart of the Orthodox Spiritual life which you can watch here: https://youtu.be/7y7T9iT8ZqM
It was an all-around grace-filled and beautiful weekend at St. Innocent!
