Then, processing to the mission center, Fr. Philip blessed the premises as the faithful sang the Trisagion hymn in English and Spanish.
A festive meal was offered by Orthodox Detroit Outreach, a non-profit organization that offers weekly meals to the local community at the center.
The mission center now has a brand new commercial-grade kitchen, an expanded dining hall, and a dedicated food and clothing pantry.
The faithful of all area parishes are encouraged to join in the mission center’s work.
