East Meets West - Spring Meets Summer at FORT ROSS Sat., 5/2111

[5Loaves]

I just discovered the Friends of Fort Ross State Park have a Facebook, different from the one I checked in the past. If you’re interested it’s “Friends of Fort Ross”.

A huge number of our State Parks are closing due to $$ crises. It seems like Ft. Ross is staying open in the limited way it has of late. So far it looks like there will still be Divine Liturgy there Memorial day (ROCOR) and July 4th (OCA).
