November 8, 2013: Supplicatory Prayers Offered

Prayers were offered at the peak of the super typhoon ''Haiyang''.
We put on the big cross that is being venerated during the Season of Lent
because we believe it is needed in critical times like this.

Prayers were done according to hourly set up
by the Orthodox Traditions
by the family of Fr. Chrysostom
at the makeshift chapel of the
Holy Martyr Saint Eleftherios Orthodox Church,
Gubat, Sorsogon, Philippines - a church under
the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople
