Iconography project Update:

Our iconographer, Antonela Zaicescu has completed iconography in the Altar, and is currently working on icons in the south apse, north apse, and narthex areas. Many icons have been sponsored already, including the Feasts of the Annunciation (completed), Elevation of the Holy Cross, Nativity, and the Dormition of the Theotokos (in progress), as well as smaller scenes and individual saints.

Holy Communion in the Body and Blood of Christ is only for members of the Orthodox Church who have prepared themselves by prayer, fasting, and periodic Confession. Everyone, however, is invited to partake of the blessed bread which will be offered at the end of the service and which may also be offered to you by one of your neighbors at Communion time as a sign of hospitality and blessing.

Friday Services, Paraklisis to the Theotokos starts at 6 PM.

Theotokos and Christ Icon

The paraklesis is a service of supplication specifically for the living addressed to the Theotokos, but may be used to seek the intercessions of any saint. The distinguishing feature of a paraklesis is the inclusion of a supplicatory canon to the saint whose intercessions are being requested. It is appropriate to be served at any time of need.




Saturday Vespers starts at 5pm.

The service of vespers is the beginning of the liturgical day. The word comes from the Greek "hespera" meaning "evening." The service is chanted in Byzantine tones and includes the beautiful hymns, "O Gladsome Light," and the "Song of Saint Simeon." All are welcome.




 

Sunday Services, Orthros and Divine Liturgy. This is a combined service.

Orthros (same as Matins Service) is our Sunday morning service that begins at 8:50am. The meaning of Orthros is "daybreak." The Gospel readings, and the liturgical spirit of Orthros reflects the joy of the Resurrection of Christ. Following the Othros service, the Divine Liturgy begins at 10am.
