Your Eminence!

Christ is Risen! 

We the clergy of the Northern Deaneries of the Diocese of Chicago and Mid-America, having gathered in Cleveland for our pastoral retreat, rescheduled from Great Lent of this year due to the repose of His Eminence Metropolitan Laurus, send our filial greetings to you with the beginning of our gathering.  On the morrow we will lift up our communal prayers to the Lord, asking His help for you with the difficult task you face as our Primate.  May God strengthen you in your duties and grant you many years!
