Pre-school blessing - August 27, 2023

On August 27th, Father Aleksey Paranyuk gave a blessing to children, teachers, and Sunday school teachers for the start of the school year.

Father Aleksey, wearing a light blue vestment, is facing the right edge of the frame and reading from a paper. A row of five children of various ages are lined up to his right, with a small boy at his left. Other parishioners are also gathered around him and in the pews around him, mostly with heads bowed.

Father Aleksey, wearing a light blue vestment, is standing with his back against the left-hand frame of the photo, and he's gesturing with his right hand. A group of five children look on from his left side, which is to the right of him in the photo.

View from the front of the church looking back towards the pews. There's a man and a woman smiling in the lower right corner, with two men to their right. Other parishioners can be seen further left and to the back, and there's a woman in the choir loft who appears in the upper right hand corner of the frame. Fr. Aleksey is walking towards the back of the church.

A group of five children are standing in a row alongside pews. There are three younger girls on the left, then a slightly older boy, and a teenage girl on the right.

Fr. Aleksey's back fills most of the center-left frame as he blesses a woman a few feet in front of him. He is wearing a light blue vestment, and she is standing in front of a pew and wearing a gray dress with a white scarf.
