Spiritual Retreat and Icon Visit - Last Weekend of October

We hope you can join us October 26-27, 2024 for a visit of the miraculous icon of St. Anna and Archimandrite Sergius of St. Tikhon Monastery in South Canaan, Pennsylvania.

The miraculous myrrh-streaming icon of St. Anna, originally commissioned on the Mount of Olives Convent in Jerusalem in 1998, now resides at St. Tikhon Monastery. In the icon St. Anna is depicted holding her young daughter, the Theotokos and Ever-Virgin Mary. Prayers said before this icon have brought numerous accounts of miracles. The icon will be at St. Tikhon Mission all day Saturday & Sunday, October 26-27, 2024, during divine services and a spiritual retreat.

About the retreat: Complimenting his series of essays covering reflections on the Divine Liturgy as life, prayer, beauty, monasticism, and the outline of a “ten-minute” prayer rule published in a volume of the same name, Fr. Sergius will offer two sessions on “Acquiring the Mind of Christ.”

In addition to the numerous divine services throughout the weekend, the retreat & meals on Saturday, October 26, are open to the public and offered free of charge, but we do ask for RSVP to ensure proper accommodations are prepared.

Free-will donations are welcome to help defray cost of food & travel.
