Blessing the Chapel of St. Nikiphoros the Leper

September 26, 2018 By Fr. John Peck [edit]

On Wednesday, September 26, 2018, the holy relics of St. Nikiphoros the Leper were brought to the Hermitage Chapel of St. Nikiphoros for a special blessing. The Paraklesis service to St. Nikiphoros was celebrated, and the holy relics were made available for veneration.


On Sunday, September 30, the holy relics will be brought to All Saints of North America Orthodox Church for veneration, two days before the Church of St. Nikiphoros will be consecrated by several hierarchs and many faithful, including the Patriarchs of Constantinople, Alexandria, Jerusalem, and many more hierarchs. 

The parishioners of ASONA made a special gift to help the building up of the Church of St. Nikiphoros, and we are doubly blessed to have a portion of his relics on this special day!
