Father Radivoje Panic, Archpriest of the St. Sava Temple in Belgrade has been collaborating with Our Serbs for many years. When Kathy Fanslow and other members of Our Serbs go to visit, Father Panic takes them throughout Serbia to visit many families in need of assistance.

Father Panic arrived this fall in Florida to serve liturgy at the St. George Church. Our Serbs received the blessing of Bishop Irinej to have Father Panic visit Chicago and serve liturgy at the celebration of Our Serbs’ Slava St. Petka. This was also a good occasion to welcome three new members the board of Our Serbs: Ms. Rada Sarac Stanic, Ms. Vera Bjelopetrovic and Mr. Aleks Lazic.

Due to Covid restrictions Slava was limited to the service and instead of the usual luncheon, boxed meals were available only for takeout. All the food that day was provided through the generosity of our new board member, Mr. Aleks Lazic.
