For many of the Roman Catholic Seminarians this is their first exposure to the liturgy of the Byzantine Church. Fr. Lee Gross, Dean of Seminarians, has bi-ritual faculties and serves the Divine Liturgy on a weekly basis at Epiphany of Our Lord-Montgomery County (Maryland) Mission in Gaithersburg. He will be joined by Fr. John G. Basarab and deacons from Epiphany of Our Lord Church in Annandale, Va. Other area Byzantine clergy and Roman Catholic clergy from the Seminary will also participate.
Everyone is invited.
