Interesting to emphasize your Eastern Studies Resume...You have a hard mission ahead .... Resurrection Parish would like to revive its lost Byzantine Festival and other Traditions E.G. Russia Easter Basket Blessings......

Welcome Father Tyler!

They are bringing in another Priest with Father Tyler and are doing a Priest Rotation between Resurrection Smithtown and St Andrews Westbury? The new Liturgy at Smithtown is now changed to 10:30 on Sundays instead of 11:15 and the Liturgy at Westbury is changed from 9:00 on Sunday to 10:00 ... Each liturgy will be performed by a different Priest and the Priests will rotate Round Robin to a different Parish every Sunday?????

Let's clarify the situation. Fr Tyler remains administrator of both parishes and alternates as celebrant every other week at the two churches. Local supply clergy take the corresponding liturgy where Fr Tyler isn't the celebrant. The new times are as noted. The change is to allow the priest to be fully engaged with the congregation rather than rushing off immediately after the first liturgy. This will be experienced for about six months and then reevaluated.
