[Pottsdam, NY] - On Monday and Tuesday, July 24-25, Archbishop Michael invites all to join a Diocesan pilgrimage to Saint Olympia Mission, in Potsdam / Norwood, NY.  The mission is the parish located the furthest north in our Diocese, and it is the only parish in the U.S. named for Saint Olympia, whose Feast Day is July 25.  The mission community recently moved into their own church building and are eager for pilgrims to “come and see!”

On Monday, July 24, at 6:00 PM, Vespers will be celebrated; and a meal will follow for all in attendance. On Tuesday, July 25, at 9:30 AM, His Eminence will be greeted at the entrance to the church, with the Liturgy to begin at 10:00 AM. A luncheon will be offered after the Liturgy.

The church is located at 34 North Main Street, Norwood, NY.

“Much has been accomplished at St. Olympia, the northern-most outpost of the Diocese, since its founding just a few years ago,” says Archbishop Michael. “Everyone is encouraged to visit for this Pilgrimage, to pray together in the newly beautified temple, and to get to know the faithful parishioners who work so diligently to nurture and grow St. Olympia Mission!”
