On Sunday afternoon, Feb. 2, 2014, while most football fans were at home watching the Superbowl, Father Robert Rankin (Ret.) was unloading liturgical items from the back of his Ford Explorer to set up for Divine Liturgy which would inaugurate the Dove Mountain Outreach. Twelve years later it is now a Mission with a path to becoming a parish.
Outreaches from three of our parishes were recently visited by Bishop Artur and raised to the status of Missions, and God willing will one day become new parishes of the eparchy.
