From February 28 to March 3, Bishop Mesrop Parsamyan was in Naples, FL. visiting the Diocese’s Southwest Florida mission parish. He celebrated the Divine Liturgy on the afternoon of Sunday, March 2, at a local Episcopal Church, with some 130 people participating. An equally large crowd attended the banquet that followed church services, where guests had a chance to meet and talk with the Primate, and hear his encouraging words for the future.

“Visiting this unique mission parish is like experiencing a cross-section of our Diocese, with faithful from many different parishes joining the year-round residents to create a truly vibrant and enthusiastic community,” Bishop Mesrop said.

Bishop Mesrop’s visit to Naples was also an opportunity for him to make pastoral visitations to elderly faithful, offer his blessings, and spend time with local families.
