The forty-day memorial for Fr Boniface has been scheduled at St Philip's on September 18,
immediately following the Divine Liturgy. (Liturgy begins at 10 am.)

A memorial will be celebrated at St Andrew's in Lewes, Delaware, on September 25.

The extended Black family thanks all who came to honor Fr. Boniface and those who sent messages of condolence and remembrance. Also greatly appreciated are all who worked to coordinate and bring about the services and provide hospitality for us all: clergy, singers, food preparers, audio-visual providers, cleaners, set-up and take-down crews, and all who helped in ways less visible.

Most especially, thanks to all for your prayers, love, and support!
