Liturgy with hierarchs at the cathedral

Following the solemn celebrations previous day, first in St. Nicholas church, followed by dinner and banquet, some of the hierarchs stayed within our faithful aslo for the Sunday liturgy day after. This liturgy was celebrated at Shaw Street - cathedral church of the Eparchy of Ss. Cyril and Methodius for Slovaks of the Byzantine rite in Canada and presided by eparchial bishop - Most Rev. Michael Rusnak, CSsR, D.D. Fr. Richard Boyle, first rector of the cathedral church served as Master of the Ceremonies. Several bishops and priests concelebrated and thus paid honor to the efforts and sacrifices of many. It was a nice liturgy, and the first one for bishop Michael in his own cathedral after the solemn enthronment as the head of his flock.
