The parish, which celebrated its 100th anniversary last fall, has a long-standing relationship with the African hierarch, reports the OCA Diocese of the Midwest.
Parishioners of Archangel Michael’s have gone on mission trips to Kenya and the parish has taken up many collections over the years to build an orphanage, purchase motorcycles for clergy to visit village parishes, and to purchase clergy vestments, shoes, and clothes for children.

At the end of the Liturgy, the Sunday School children of the parish presented Bp. Neofitos with $10,000 to lay the foundation for a new diocesan center and home for the bishop.
