Communion
08/03/2025
Starting with the first pew, followed by the second pew, third pew, etc., approach the chalice via the center isle.
***Note: If you are not Orthodox or not prepared to receive Holy Communion, please come foward and ask the priest for a blessing prayer. All people are welcome to partake of the blessed bread (antidoron). This is not communion.
Dormition Fast
08/03/2025
The Dormition Fast: The Orthodox Church enters into a period of fasting from August 1st until August 15th which is the Feast of the Dormition of the Virgin Mary. During this time when we collectively refrain from meat, dairy, eggs, and oil. (There are some exceptions.) For those interested in knowing more and/or have specific questions about the fast, please see Father Thomas. Let us remember what Saint John Chrysostom says, “he is mistaken who thinks that the fast consists only in abstinence from food. True fasting is departing from evil.”
Grapes
08/03/2025
Grapes: Wednesday August 6th is the Feast of Holy Transfiguration. As is tradition, in celebration of this wonderful feast, please bring your ready-to-eat grapes (clean and cut into individual serving sizes) to church to be blessed and distributed at the end of service.
Confession
08/03/2025
Confession: Please note that Father Thomas will be available for confession each Saturday after the service of Great Vespers. There is no need to make an appointment. If you would like to schedule a time outside of Saturday evening for confession, please contact Fr. Thomas
