For over 10 years at Annunciation we have held a free fall retreat where we invite guest speakers to come and give a talk on a particular spiritual topic. This year, we were very honored to host His Eminence, Archbishop Daniel who came to give our retreat entitled:
“Greet the Saints: Matushka Olga of Alaska”
The recorded talks are now available here:
