The Very Rev. Fr. Matthew B. MacKay

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the sudden passing of our pastor. Memorial services were held on July 29 and 30.

Please pray for Kh. Lynn, Patrick, and Sean, for their loss, and for the parish of St. Joseph Orthodox Church.

Also, please see the attached tribute by His Grace, Bishop THOMAS, the obituary in the Houston Chronicle, and listen to an interview of Fr. Matthew, where he talked about his journey to the Orthodox Church.

May the Lord bless us all in this difficult time.
