- 2020
- History:
- On January 9/22, 2020, the day of the commemoration of Hieromartyr Philip, Metropolitan of Moscow, the Dean of Michigan Parishes, Fr. Gregory Joyce, served the Divine Liturgy at the St. Sebastian Mission in Traverse City, MI with Archbishop Peter’s blessing. This was the very first Divine Liturgy in the newly configured worship space on Douglas Drive. Although it was a working day, 15 people gathered for the Divine Liturgy – 14 of these partook of Holy Communion (the 15th was a Catechumen). Following the Divine Liturgy a meal was presented at which the future of the mission was discussed, as well as several interesting questions about Orthodox Christianity in Michigan and on the North American continent. Since that significant "beginning", our mission parish has achieved grace-filled growth, has realized the need to move to a larger worship space, and has begun to minister to other Northern Michigan "sister mission" sites on a periodic basis. Our goal is to achieve sufficient core membership strength to be able to purchase property that would be capable of containing both a permanent worship temple and a cemetery. With fervent prayers, we continue our missionary struggle. Our postal mailing address is: 3585 Bunker Hill Rd. #14, Acme, MI 49610
