Sts. Cyril and Methodius Orthodox Church Mercer, Pa

This was the last stop yesterday. It's at Camp Nazareth in Mercer. The place is fantastic. It's almost 300 acres total. The Church is only five years old, and it's simply stunning.

The people of the ACROD should be very proud to have such a magnificent facility for their youth.

And so we can not think of our communities as ethnic parishes, ... unless we wish to assure the death of our community."

Other than that the church is wonderful. ... but at least they copied the full tiered, bent-to-conform to the angle of the roof ikonostas. St. Nicholas GCU Chapel just has a one-tiered Greek style ikonostas, which isn't really used in the Carpathians. Ung
