This past Sunday (May 22nd), state Senator Tim Mathern visited our humble parish. During his visit, he read from a letter from Tina Kaidanow, Deputy Assistant Secretary of the U.S. Department of State to ND Secretary of State Al Jaeger. The resolution passed by North Dakota’s legislature may be found here:
Senator Mathern worked hard and Rep. Andrew Maragos (Greek Orthodox representative from Minot, North Dakota) was also very helpful. Here is the thank you letter I had sent the senators after their vote:

Here are two pictures from Sen. Mathern’s visit:
