May His Memory Be Eternal!

Please join our hearts in prayer and spiritual union to honor the memory of the spiritual lead who has

walked among us – and directly or indirectly brought us together , forever impacting our lives

by his living example.

There will be two services – and you are welcomed to participate on both:

1 – Saturday, 20 November 2010 at 19:00EST.

We celebrate Father Calciu’s memory at Holy Cross (Falls Church, VA), the legacy left by Father Calciu where thousands have been brought together in unity and prayer);

2 – Sunday, 21 November 2010 at 19:00EST

We celebrate Father Calciu’s memory at Saint Andrew (Potomac, MD), the newest branch from Father Calciu’s legacy.

Very few have the gift of touching hearts and souls and bringing them together by virtue of their living examples – and this is a privilege that we must celebrate – the old and

the new – the vine and its branches.

We look forward to seeing all united in prayer Saturday and Sunday as we also honor the last

message that Father Calciu has left for his flock – to love one another like Jesus loves us!

"What does the priesthood mean? It means to be an enduring witness to human suffering and to take it upon your own shoulders. To be the one who warms the leper at his own breast, the one who gives life to the miserable through the breath from his own mouth. To be a strong comfort to every

unfortunate one, even when you yourself are overwhelmed with weakness. To be a ray of shining light to unhappy hearts when your own eyes long ago

ceased to see any light. To carry mountains of others’ sufferings on your shoulders, while your own being screams out with the weight of its own

suffering. Your flesh will rebel and say, ‘This heroism is absurd, impossible! Where is such a man, where is the priest you describe so that I may put my

own suffering on his shoulders?’ Yes, nevertheless, he does exist! From time to time there awakens within us the priest of Christ who, like the Good Samaritan, will kneel down by the side of the man fallen among thieves and, putting him upon his own donkey, will bring him to the Church of Christ for healing. And he will forget himself and comfort you, O man of suffering."
