Video update
Our project lead, Bishop Serafim, has been tirelessly working on this project. Since 2025 he has
traveled to Alabama, Arkansas, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Tennessee, Texas
and Wisconsin to promote this project. Here is a link to another interview about the project.
The video is mostly in Serbian, but there are some English Q&A sessions with Manny, the
project's general contractor. Bishop Serafim is planning to take this road show outside the
Midwest Diocese. Details will be provided as they are finalized.
