OUR PATRON SAINT

The Patron Saint of this Parish is Saint Ignatius of Antioch (Feast day 20th December). "Like a living monument and an animate image, thy yearly feast is come, O God-bearing Ignatius, proclaiming thy mystic teachings and thy heroic exploits, thy resistance for the Faith even unto blood, and those blessed and celebrated words of thine, which said: I am the wheat of God, and in the teeth of beasts shall I be ground up. Wherefore, as an imitator of the Passion of Christ, intercede that our souls be saved." +Orthros of the Feast, Tone 1.
