Last night we served Great Vespers, and this morning the Divine Liturgy, at the parish of St Theophan, in the home church of Father Konstantine Lautillo in Manila. Ironically, we weren’t able to meet him because this week he is away at a clergy gathering in the USA.

With the blessing of Antiochian Metropolitan Paul and ROCOR Metropolitan Hilarion, Fr Seraphim served together with Father Andrew Lim and Deacon Rodion Rafols, while I sang the choir parts.

200 — At the Church of St Theophan in Father Konstantine’s home

204 — Preparation prayers on Sunday morning

205 — Prayers of preparation in the altar

206 — “Thine own, of Thine own, we offer unto Thee…”

207 — The Liturgy is fully translated into Tagalog, making it easy to sing the choir responses in that language.

203 — Father Seraphim preaching

218 — A meal with clergy and their families

219 — After the Liturgy, Fr Konstantine’s wife, Khouria Marina, teaches catechism to neighborhood children.
