On May 5 and 6 His Eminence paid a visit to Sts Cyril and Methodius Orthodox Church in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Fr Thomas Mueller is the parish rector and also serves as the Dean of the Chicago Deanery.
Sts Cyril and Methodius is an inner city parish which has a very strong mission to Orthodox Christians of all backgrounds. This is evidenced by the six languages in which the Lord's Prayer is recited during the Divine Liturgy.
