The venue for the reception and Metropolitan's talk is TBD.  That is, the reception and talk may be in the church hall and church, rather than the parish center.  People will be directed to the right venue upon arrival, if not announced beforehand. 

Note! The prayer service, reception and Ecumenism Lecture by Metropolitan Kallistos at The Catholic University of America scheduled for Tuesday, February 9, has been postponed one week until Tuesday, February 16 because of weather conditions in Washington, DC.  The same schedule -- prayer at 4:30, reception at 5:30, lecture at 6:30 -- will be followed starting in the Chapel in Caldwell Hall.  Please pass the word to anyone who was planning to attend.
