Beloved Hierarchs and Clergy of this God-protected Archdiocese:
Greetings and blessings in the Name of our Lord during this third week of the Great Fast.
Sunday, March 19, 2017 will mark the third anniversary of the repose of our beloved Metropolitan Philip of thrice-blessed memory. As such, all of the parishes and missions of this Archdiocese are directed to do the following on that day, the Third Sunday of Great Lent:
1. During the Proskomedia, the priest shall commemorate “His Eminence Metropolitan Philip of thrice-blessed memory and eternal repose” as the first among the departed.
2. During the Great Entrance, the priest shall commemorate “His Eminence Metropolitan Philip of thrice-blessed memory and eternal repose” as the first among the departed.
May his memory be eternal and may your ongoing journey through the Great Fast be spiritually rewarding.
Your Father in Christ,
+JOSEPH
Archbishop of New York and Metropolitan of All North America
