Acting Consul General, Dejan Radulovic, visited the Serbian community in Austin, the state of Texas, on the occasion of the celebration of the Feast of the Church of St. Luka and the 10th anniversary of the parish founding.

The celebration was attended by more than three hundred parishioners and guests. After the liturgy and the ceremony of cutting the Feast-cake, as well as the program, the attendees were addressed by Bishop Longin, Father Dragoljub Popović, priest of the church and Acting Consul General Dejan Radulović. On that occasion, the Acting Consul General expressed his thanks to the representatives of the municipal parochial school for the cooperation with the Consulate General, as well as on the efforts made to preserve the identity of the Serbian community in Texas. The program was performed by attendees of the municipal parochial school's Sunday School in Austin, as well as by the visiting folklore ensembles "Homeland" from Houston and "Rastko" from Dallas.
