Great Lent Began February 23 - Pascha is April 12  
10/4/15, 06:00 PM
Posted by Fr. Gregory
Please note that Great Lent began this year on February 23. During Great Lent we abstain from meat and dairy products including fish (although fish is allowed on Palm Sunday – April 5). Let us recall that fasting is a tool given to us by God to aid us spiritually. For some it is easy to fast, for others it is difficult. However, what is most important is that we make a sincere effort to follow the fast. Why? Simply because the fast helps us to see our sins by helping us to focus spiritually. Eating “light” foods, or perhaps rather, abstaining from “heavy” foods such as meats and cheeses, allows us to be less focused on our stomachs and more focused on our souls, and of course, in this season when we undergo our journey to the Resurrection of our Lord we dearly wish to improve ourselves spiritually that we might meet the risen Christ better than we were when we began Great Lent. St. John Chrysostom writes that we abstain from meats that we might abstain from our sins. This nicely sums up the reason the Holy Church, as a loving mother, gives us the gift of fasting. Pascha is April 12 – may God grant us all a spiritually profitable Great Lent!

Please Car Pool for Pascha 
9/4/15, 06:00 AM
Posted by Fr. Gregory
Two of the most-attended services of the year are Palm Sunday and Pascha. We urge all our parishioners to car pool for both of these feasts if at all possible. It is wonderful that so many people want to come to church, but it would be so very unfortunate if we do not have enough parking to allow everyone who wants to attend these important services to indeed attend. Carpooling will allow us to utilize our limited parking spaces to the greatest extent possible. We hope to be able to install additional parking in the early summer. We thank everyone for their cooperation!

Calendar Adjustment 
7/4/15, 06:00 AM
Posted by Fr. Gregory
Please note that we have Bridegroom Matins scheduled for Tuesday evening at 6:00 p.m. Thus there will be no Matins on Wednesday morning connected to the Presanctified Liturgy. This means Liturgy will begin significantly earlier than usual - likely around 9:00-9:30 a.m. Please make plans according. The on-line schedule has been adjusted and can be found here:
