Pastorally Speaking Those of us that are really involved in the life of the Cathedral will know that we are a busy place filled with heavenly divine services of the church, events, and activities. We are blessed to have a very active and vibrant church. With that in mind there is someone who we owe a debt of gratitude for her years of dedication in service to us, her inspiring life, and her humble devotion to God. In August, we begin the 15 day fast in honor and recognition of this one person who through her humility changed salvation history. If you have not already guessed it… Mary, the mother of God. She humbly accepts to be His mother and to raise Him. She held Him in her arms and did all that was necessary as a mother to make sure He was taken care of as a child. She watched Him grow into a man and stood at the foot of the cross as He endured unimaginable, blameless suffering. Her tears of agony are noted in many hymns of our Church. At the end of the fast in August, we bring flowers and herbs to be blessed in the Church in honor and celebration of her falling asleep in the Lord known as, the Dormition of the Mother of God.

She is the patron Saint of our church. She watches over us, prays for us, and leads the way to God for us. Every time we enter St. Mary’s Cathedral, we are greeted by her many icons and listen to the numerous hymns in celebration of her life and victory. She is noted as the highest among the saints. She is recognized for her purity and her humility. She surpasses the angelic ranks. More honorable than the cherubim and more glorious beyond compare than the seraphim. She is noted as the first Christian of our church because she is the first to accept Christ in the womb at the feast of the Annunciation. Many miracles and blessings have occurred throughout the centuries and even in our own church, due to prayers and devotions in honor of the Theotokos. Some of her icons cry and stream myrrh. Truly there is something powerful and lifegiving by her remembrance of us, her prayers for us, and her service and devotion to God. She continues to lead all those who are needy, downcast, weary, sick, tormented, and otherwise depressed to Christ our God. She is a constant advocate to God.

She stands at the gate of the temple of God and ushers all of us into His glory. If you look at any of the icons where she is holding the Christ child, you will note that her hands are positioned in such a way as to always point toward God. Very few renditions of the icon can be seen otherwise, but for the most part it is true. She is meant to point the way and to lead the way toward her son. We do not see her as God. We see her as a very powerful intercessor toward Christ. We can’t prove it to the logical mind. We experience her love and care for us in living a faithful life devoted to God. When our hearts are on their way toward purity, she reveals herself to us. It is in humility of the heart that her outstretched veil can be grasped.

We owe it to ourselves to participate in the 15 day fast in honor of the one who keeps our church flowing with vibrant and colorful life. St. Mary’s Cathedral is decorated with her blessings. We are so grateful and thankful to her service to God and to all that she has done and continues to do for the sake of helping all of us to reach our spiritual potential. Most holy Theotokos, pray unto God for us!

Another very moving program was held again on Memorial Day at our Cemetery. Thank you to Skip Rither and the St. Mary’s Veteran’s Association, as well as all of the program participants, for the beautiful program. If you have not attended our Memorial Day program in the past, I encourage you to do so in the future.

Also, if you have not visited our Church Cemetery and Cemetery Chapel for a while, please do so. Many improvements have been performed in the past months to the Chapel: tuck-pointing of the exterior brickwork, new basement windows and window well covers, and bathroom remodeling have all been made possible through the great generosity of the three Mlinar sisters: Ann, Catherine and Helen.

Our parish community gathered together on a beautiful Summer evening on Friday 6/1/18 to celebrate Mary! Mary Ignatowicz that is. After 20 years as our faithful office administrator she will be retiring. Mary has provided a wonderful ministry to our Church for all these years. Her kind, patient, and always helpful presence will be missed. I thank Mary for the wonderful blessings that she has provided to our Parish. And I also wish to congratulate her on this exciting new chapter in her life!

I also want to thank the organizing committee for the wonderful picnic that evening and to the Balalaika Orchestra for their always beautiful entertainment.

On Sunday June 3rd, we celebrated the accomplishments of our Graduates. Our Parish’s youth never cease to amaze me for so many reasons. And once again hearing about their accomplishments, talents and future plans was incredible. Our youth are truly one of St. Mary’s true blessings and treasures! I also want to thank the ‘O’ Club for their hard work and dedication and for once again offering this graduation breakfast celebration. It is a very special event each year for our parish community.

Another blessing for our youth is the St. Mary’s summer church camp program. It is again being held this year at the Camp Wapo facility near Amory, WI. It is a fantastic week of fun and educational activities along with fellowship with other Orthodox youth from the other Twin Cities Orthodox Churches. The week at camp includes church services, religion discussion classes, and Q

and A sessions that educate and enlighten our youth. And it is always touching to hear from the campers how much fun they have had and the life-long friendships that are made with their old and new Orthodox buddies. Thank you to Fr. Ben and the other St. Mary’s volunteers that make the summer program an annual success.

The week of June 18th, provided our parish with the blessing once again of hosting the Pan-Orthodox Music Symposium. From Thursday, June 21st through Sunday, June 24th, our parish facilities were abuzz with the many visitors for this event that included lectures, workshops, church services, meals and fellowship with some incredibly talented and dedicated singers/musicians.

Thank you for all who attended the event and of course to Dn. Gregory, the St. Mary’s Choir, and the many other volunteers that made this event possible and so successful.

Parish Center Parking Lot update: At the writing of this article, the Parking Lot Project was scheduled to begin on Monday, June 25th. Much of the work is weather dependent. And as you can imagine, the cold snowy spring has shortened the season for paving contractors. So the many phases of the project need to be coordinated with other projects that are being performed by our contractor. Overall, we hope to complete the project in 3-4 weeks. Some volunteers from our parish have offered their landscaping expertise to perform the required landscaping around the parking lot. The services provided by these volunteers will help reduce the cost of the project. The landscaping changes that you will notice are part of the City’s Construction Code regulations. As you recall, the Parking Lot Committee worked diligently for many months on this project with the City of Minneapolis in order to both comply with City Regulations and to ensure that we maintained as many parking spots as possible. Please prayerfully consider your ongoing donations to the Parking Lot fund – the red monthly envelopes.

The Church Board and I wish everyone a wonderful and safe summer – and thank you for your continued support of St. Mary’s!

Yours in Christ, Steve Tomczyk

Choir Notes by Deacon Gregory Ealy

As many of you know, St. Mary's Cathedral Choir is made up of roughly sixty singers. Many of these singers have been part of the choir for decades, starting in the mid-20th century in the "Junior Choir" under the guiding hand of Fr. Dzubay. Others have only been part of our community a few years, having moved here from other parts of North America for schooling, work, or family. Even though we rehearse every Wednesday and sing at the services on weekends and other days during the week, it's quite possible that not many people know each other well.

Beginning last month, I started a series of articles highlighting each month one of our choir members. I think the goal of this is obvious. Our lives our busy, we don't live in close proximity to each other, and we don't have necessarily the same common history as many choir members did 50 or 75 years ago. This week we hear from Penny (Grivna) Peters who is the oldest active female member of the choir. I hope you will enjoy it. Maybe you will be next!

Lifelong Member

I became a member of our Choir as a little girl from a very musical family who all sang in our Choir. The Grivna family really had their own choir – my Dad, John, as tenor; my Uncle Wally as bass, my Aunt

Nancy as alto, and my Aunt Ellen as soprano. My Dad also played the piano. He never took a lesson but could play by ear. Family get togethers, holidays, etc. ended up with all of us sitting around the piano and singing whatever we could think of. It could evolve from “I’ve been Working on the Railroad” to “Nebo e Zemla”.

So, joining the St. Mary’s Choir as a Junior was just an unspoken step in my life. Father John Dzubay was the Choir director back then. Since most of us kids lived close to church, our parents didn’t have to transport us to rehearsals, etc. My twin sister, Polly, and I were the lucky ones though, as we lived 2 blocks away on 18th and 6th Street. Junior Choir rehearsal was on Monday night from 6 PM to 7 PM. The “I Love Lucy Show” began at 7, so we could run home and not even miss a commercial.

Most of us attended Holland School, and Father John worked with the school to let us off occasionally during school hours to learn to read Russian so that we could read the choir Slavonic music.

St. Mary’s was our church, and also our neighborhood back then. I can still go down most of the blocks and remember who lived in each house. At Easter time some of us kids would go from house to house to collect money for Easter flowers.

There were frequent invitations to the Choir to sing elsewhere. My most memorable trip was to Las Vegas where our Choir sang for the Consecration of St. Paul the Apostle Church in 1995. I sort of forgot that real people live in that city and it’s just not all nightlife. Sometime in the ‘80’s we joined other choirs here in the City and performed a joint concert in a Synagogue. I remember thinking way back then that it was a great beginning of recognizing and opening our minds to the beliefs of others.

Of course it was special to me to be singing with my Dad directing the choir at times. It was quite emotional for both of us and we shared several “winks” to let each other know. My Dad’s love for the Choir and the church certainly influenced me. I can still remember standing behind my Grandma Grivna in the Alto section and realizing that she was then the oldest active lady in the Choir. Well, now I have that title and I thank God for being able to be a part of the Choir for so many years.

A Note on Communion Cloths:

In general, we are taught that we should gently, reverently wipe our mouths after Communion, which is one of the reasons we have communion cloths. (The other reason for the cloths is to catch any drips or particles). However, it is the communicant who is to wipe his or her mouth, and not the altar servers or assistants who hold the cloths for them. Of course, with babies and infants and those who cannot make use of the cloth themselves, some assistance may be given. But really, it is only proper for the communicant to wipe his or her mouth on the communion cloth - or not, depending on how they have received Communion - and it would undoubtedly help our altar servers and assistants if this was done gently, reverently, firmly by communicants. Anything else is intrusive and unpleasant for everyone.

(Fr Andrew)

On Saturday, August 18, St. Peter and Paul Russian Orthodox Church will celebrate its Centennial starting with Liturgy, served by Father Radomir Playsic from St. Basil of Ostrog Serbian Orthodox Church in Chisholm. The afternoon will include the blessing of graves, a BBQ, family games and entertainment. St. Peter and Paul Russian Orthodox Church is located in the unincorporated community of Bramble, Minnesota, in South Koochiching County, Minnesota, about 35 miles northwest of Hibbing near the small communities of Orr and Rauch. The church was founded by Rusyn immigrants from the Carpathian Mountains, today’s Southern Poland, Northeastern Slovakia and Western Ukraine. The sign on the church reads: built by the Lucachick and Sorokie families and many other neighbors. The church land was donated by the Lucachicks and the cemetery land by the Sorokies.

The church building itself was built in 1917-1918. The iconostasis was installed in 1926. The first Liturgy was celebrated by the Orthodox priest from St. Nicholas Russian Orthodox Church of Chisholm. The church started with a nucleus of 20 families. At its peak there were about 30 families. The Church did not have a regular priest. The priest from St. Nicholas Russian Orthodox Church in Chisholm would come once a month to serve Liturgy. The active life of this parish was short-lived, as many of the people who had settled in the area for land left as they realized that the conditions of northern Minnesota only make for marginal farming. The church fell into disuse in the 1930’s, but in the early 1960s Paul Berg, an Episcopal minister in Grand Rapids discovered the church and organized an effort to restore it. The discovery of the church generated much interest, and the property subsequently was refurbished and saved from becoming a historical museum.

On July 21, 1968, the church celebrated its fiftieth anniversary with Archbishop John of Chicago attending and St. Mary’s Orthodox Cathedral Choir singing at the commemorative service. Until the early 1980’s, faithful from Minneapolis, including parishioners of St. Mary’s Cathedral, and Minnesota’s northern Iron Range would gather at the church every July for the celebration of the feast of St. Peter and Paul. For a number of years, Archbishop John presided at the annual celebration, bringing with him the Tikhvin Icon of the Mother of God. The last pilgrimage occurred in 1978. Since then there has been only one yearly Liturgy on the First Saturday in September. It would be nice for the St. Mary’s Church community to come together and join in celebration with the Bramble Church community. - Karen Varian Information for this article was gathered from multiple sources. The best information on the Bramble Church is in the book – Galician-Rusins on the Iron Range by John D. Goman. Thanks is also due to Todd Lukachick for sending me some articles on the church. Check out St. Peter & St. Paul Russian Orthodox Church Facebook page for updates on the celebration as well as a link to a documentary video of the 1971 Tikhvin Festival called “The Bramble Experience” by Al Milgrom.

Contrary to what some believe, Sunday is not the Sabbath. Saturday was and is the Sabbath… the Seventh Day on which Christ rested from creating the world (Gen.2:2) and redeeming it: “Therefore, because it was the Day of Preparation, that the bodies should not remain on the cross on the Sabbath – for that Sabbath was a high day {Passover}, the Jews asked Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away,” (Jn.19:31); thus Holy Saturday is called the ‘Most Blessed Sabbath’. This is borne out, not only theologically, but also in everyday life, as the name for ‘Saturday’ in the calendars of traditionally Orthodox and Roman Catholic countries such as Russia, Greece, Italy, Spain, France, Albania and Hungary – among others – are transliterations or translations of ‘Sabbath’ or share a similar root (i.e. Romanian, Sabat/Sâmbătă): Суббота/Subbota, Σαββατο/Savvato, Sabato, Sabado, Samedi, E Shtunë and Szombat; and Al-Sabat in Arabic. Friday remains the “Day of Preparation”, embodied by the Greek name for the day, ‘Paraskevi’, which means “Preparation”.

Sunday is the day of Resurrection, the ‘Lord’s Day’: “I, John, both your brother and companion in the tribulation and Kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was on the island that is called Patmos for the word of God and for the testimony of Jesus Christ. I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s Day, and I heard behind me a loud voice, as of a trumpet, saying, ‘I AM the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last,’” (Rev.1:9-11). While the Sabbath is the last day of the original creation, Sunday/the Lord’s Day, is the first day of the renewed creation (Matt.28:1; Mk.16:9; Lk.24:1; Jn.20:1, 19); this is the day, from the earliest days of the Church, on which Christians gathered for the Eucharist to celebrate the Death and Resurrection of Christ (Acts 20:7). It is also symbolically, the Eighth Day, the Day of the Kingdom which has no end. All this is borne out, as with Saturday, in the name given to Sunday in traditionally Orthodox or Roman Catholic countries such as Russia, Greece, Italy, Spain, Romania, France, and Albania: Воскресенье/ Voskresene (Resurrection), Κυριακή/Kyriaki (Lord’s Day), Domenica (Lord’s Day), Domingo (Lord’s Day), Duminică (Lord’s Day), Diamanche (Lord’s Day) and E Diel (Lord’s Day). In Arabic, it is ‘Al-Ahad’ (the First Day, cf. Matt.28:1, Mk.16:2,9, Lk.24:1, Jn.20:1). Being the day of joyous celebration, Sunday is the traditional day in the Church for weddings; the couple would receive Communion, then retire to their separate corners and get ready for the service.

As Saturday is the day on which Christ reposed in the tomb, every Saturday is dedicated to the Martyrs who fully emulated Him and is the traditional day to have memorials for the Departed; for just as we experience ‘joyful sorrow’ on Great and Holy Saturday – knowing that Christ is dead… but not permanently – so also on every Saturday (and every Parastas and Funeral) we embrace that same ‘joyful sorrow’ over our

loved ones who are gone… but not permanently. Through Latin Christian influence, for centuries the remembrance of the Departed moved to Sundays. The ‘Kollyvades Fathers’ (the name comes from ‘Kollyva/Kutia’) centered in the Vatopedi Monastery on Mount Athos in the 18th-19th centuries endured unjust excommunication and defrocking to restore both the remembrance of the departed on Saturday and frequent reception of Holy Confession and Communion… an effort continued by Fr. Alexander Schmemann and others in the 20th century. A synod, which voided the unjust sentences against the Fathers, reaffirmed Saturdays as the day for memorials for the Departed, while allowing memorials to be held on Sundays where circumstances require (a thoroughly abused dispensation).

There really isn’t a “day of rest” in the Orthodox Church, though on major Feasts a rest from labor is prescribed in most monasteries. Finding a balance between work and rest are part of Christian life everyday. On Saturday and Sunday, a special emphasis is placed on this as, on Saturday, we celebrate “the Only-begotten Son of God,” who, “rested from all His works through the dispensation of death” (‘Lord I Call’ Doxasticon of Holy Saturday); while on Sunday, we revel in the joy of His Resurrection and His renewal of creation; both of which require a degree of refocusing on Christ and setting aside “earthly cares” (Cherubimic Hymn ~ Divine Liturgies of St. John Chrysostom & St. Basil the Great). It really isn’t a matter of one or the other, or one over the other; they are a matched pair… as are Holy Saturday/the Most Blessed Sabbath and Pascha/First Day of the Week.

NOTE: As Sunday is the day of Resurrection and Saturday, the day of Christ’s “rest” in the Tomb & Conquest of Hell and of the Martyrs, so each of the other days of the week has a particular commemoration: Monday – the Bodiless Hosts, Tuesday – St. John the Baptist, Wednesday – St. Mary & the Cross, Thursday – St. Nicholas & the Apostles, and Friday – the Cross.

{The Kollyvades Fathers include Ss.: Makarios of Corinth, Nektarios of Aegina & Pentapolis, Nikodemos of the Holy Mountain, Paisius Velichkovsky, and Kosmas of Aitolia, among others}

A follow-up to last month’s article: On Sundays after the Matins reading, the Gospel Book itself is venerated in honor of the message proclaimed from it; and because, traditionally, there is a Resurrection Icon on the Book. The Gospel Book is also venerated after the Matins reading on the feasts of major Saints, to honor that which they proclaimed and fulfilled. On Great Feasts of the Lord, just as the Resurrection Icon on the Gospel Book is venerated on regular Sundays – ‘Little Paschas’, the Icon of the Feast is venerated instead of the Gospel Book.
