His Eminence's remarks were projected on a large screen monitor where all who were in attendance could both see and hear His greeting.  Leading the faithful in singing of the traditional hymn to St. Nicholas (O Kto Kto) and in the singing of  God Grant  You Many Years (Mnohaja Lita),  Metropolitan Nicholas  concluded  by giving  His blessing to begin the ribbon cutting ceremony and the celebratory banquet.

May God Bless the Faithful of  St. Nicholas of Myra Church on the celebration of their Kermish or Names' Day Celebration, and Preserve them for Many Years.
