Glory to Jesus Christ!

I received a call early this morning from Matushka Irene Sidor to inform His Eminence and the diocese that Fr. John reposed in the Lord early this morning at the nursing home in Cranberry Township. Additional details about the funeral that will take place at the Holy Transfiguration Monastery (Ellwood City) will be shared when known. In the meantime, please keep +Archpriest John and his family in your prayers.

In Christ,

Fr. Bill
