Fr. Hratch attended the monthly ecumenical luncheon with area clergy and spiritual leaders, graciously hosted by Humera Khan. The gathering was especially meaningful and bittersweet, as those present also said farewell to one of Cleveland’s longtime clergy colleagues and friends, Rev. Fr. John Thomas Joseph Lane, whom God has called to a new ministry in New York City.

Prayers and heartfelt best wishes are extended to Fr. John as he begins this new chapter of ministry. He will be greatly missed here in Cleveland, and may God continue to bless and guide his ministry
