Holy Saturday Vesperal Divine Liturgy – Cancelled

at

Glory to Jesus Christ! Glory forever!

Parish family and friends,

Unfortunately, due to plumbing issues resulting in a lack of operational restrooms, this morning’s 10:00AM Vesperal Divine Liturgy has been canceled as plumbers will be on-site to make repairs.

Paschal Services will begin tonight at the normally scheduled time (11:30PM) with the Midnight Office, followed by the Procession, Festal Matins, Festal Divine Liturgy, the Blessing of Pascha Baskets, and our Agape Feast.

We apologize for the disruption this brings to our Holy Week service schedule, but we look forward to worshiping with everyone tonight as we celebrate the Resurrection of Our Lord!

Sunday of Orthodoxy Procession (1st Sunday of Great Lent)

at

Glory to Jesus Christ!

On Sunday, 13 March, we will celebrate the 1st Sunday of Great Lent, also called the Sunday of Orthodoxy. It is here, and through the rest of Great Lent on Sundays, that we begin to serve the Divine Liturgy of St. Basil the Great. In addition, after the Divine Liturgy on the 1st Sunday of Great Lent, we will have a procession with icons and serve the Rite of Orthodoxy (i.e., a brief service in commemoration of the affirmations of the Seventh Ecumenical Council in 787 and the restoration of the use of icons in 843).

If you would like to participate, please bring a favorite icon from home or feel free to use one from the church.
