Fr. Alexios, the second priest of our home parish, St. Nicholas Cathedral, was attacked Monday afternoon by a Marine reservist who mistook him for an "Arab Terrorist".

Here is the article.

Please pray for Father Alexios to recover both mentally and physically after this terrible crime. The attacker is now making all kinds of ridiculous allegations to try and turn the story around now. What is this world coming to?

If anyone is interested I will be collecting get well cards and letters for him to show our support.

Please keep him in your prayers...Lord have mercy...
