Your Eminence Metropolitan Constantine, beloved brother,
Reverend Fathers,
Brothers and Sisters in Christ Jesus,
What a wonderful visit to Wyoming and to Cheyenne this has been! Everyone has been so welcoming, so loving, and so receptive. Your communities are thriving and it is clear to me that the spiritual attainments you are enjoying are based on the foundations that have been laid by those who came before. In the case of Saints Constantine and Helen Church, these foundations reach back over one hundred years, and to the same year, 1922, that our Sacred Archdiocese was established by the Ecumenical Patriarchate as its first overseas Eparchy.
