5 November In the afternoon the Exarch Christo Proykov presided over the celebration of the Divine Liturgy in the Assumptionist Church in Plovdiv. In the celebration the Greek Catholic martyrs of the Communist persecution were commemorated. Movingly, the Exarch recalled the previous jubilee: that of the 100th anniversary in 1960 when the Greek Catholic Church was almost wiped out. He recalled how at the celebrations of that jubilee, as a young altar server he himself had served Mass, along with the bishop and only priest still alive and not imprisoned in that period.

See Photos below. I love that they included the young altar servers in the group photo with all the clergy. 🙂 Future vocations! 👍
