MCHENERY, IL [DOM] – The Diocese of the Midwest has recently announced an upcoming event celebrating the birthday of their Diocesan Hierarch, Archbishop Daniel of Chicago and the Midwest. The celebration will bring together clergy and faithful from around the area to celebrate the milestone birthday.
The observance of this day will be held at St. Nicholas of Mira Church, McHenery, IL, one of the newest parishes of the diocese. Mitered Archpriest Vladimir Kovalchuk, Rector of the parish, organized the event to honor the Archbishop. “We requested to host this event many months ago to honor our archpastor. He has taken great care of our community he received us into his diocese.
