Father Paul Shafran Celebrates 103d Birthday!

[Trenton, NJ] - Congratulations to Archpriest Paul Shafran, Pastor Emeritus (retired) at St. Vladimir Church, Trenton, NJ, who by God's grace reached the remarkable age of 103 on July 2d.  Family members gathered that day to celebrate, including two of his great-grandchildren.  The following Sunday, also by God's grace, Father Paul was able to concelebrate the Divine Liturgy with Father Volodymyr Chaikivskiy, Rector of St. Vladimir Church. Afterwards, at the parish social hall, parishioners continued the birthday celebration with cake in his honor.  We extend our best wishes and prayers for Father Paul for continued good health and strength.  Mnogaya Leta!
