Dearly Beloved in Christ,
God willing, we are preparing to solemnly observe the 124th Memorial Feast (Ormaperunnal) of St. Gregorios of Parumala, the heavenly patron and intercessor of our parish, together with our Parish Convention.
This year's observance is especially blessed and significant as we commemorate the 50th Anniversary (Golden Jubilee) of our parish. The celebrations will commence on November 1, 2026, with the main Perunnal and Golden Jubilee celebrations being held from November 6–8, 2026, with the blessings and gracious presence of:
…as the Chief Celebrants, together with the vicars and clergy of the Orthodox parishes in New Jersey.
We prayerfully and cordially invite you and your family to join us in the feast services, Parish Convention, Rasa Procession, Golden Jubilee celebrations, and other Perunnal observances, and to share in the joy and blessings of this blessed occasion.
Let us come together in prayer, seeking the intercession of St. Gregorios of Parumala.
