Sunday's Homily Excerpt -

Beloved brothers and sisters in Christ: Today, the Holy Orthodox Church in Alaska joins the choirs of heaven, glorifying our beloved Matushka. Yes, today, heaven rejoices—today, the earth listens. The land does not shout—but it listens. With a stillness deeper than words, it listens. The tundra listens, the rivers pause, even the summer sky grows still. What moves the earth to listen? A Saint has appeared. Tanqiutengellruukut. Tanquilria Arsamquq! Not from a distant land. Not from a forgotten time. But from right here and right now in Kwethluk. From the heart of our land, from the soul of our people, Saint Olga stands revealed. - Archbishop Alexei of Diocese of Sitka and Alaska, June 20, 2025-
