Patronal feast is today at the parish in honor of the Intercession of the Most Holy Theotokos in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. The Orthodox community prayed at the Liturgy and partook of the Holy Mysteries of Christ. The liturgy is celebrated here about once a month, so the service itself is a great holiday for the community. At the end, an agape meal was arranged where everyone could chat with Father Eugene and share the latest news.
