Posted by Fr. Gregory

Our parish feast day, our Second Pascha, always falls on July 28. This year that is a Thursday. Have you ask for that time off of work yet? If not – now is the time! This is the second most important day in our parish annually – it is a time we all gather and honor our patron saint while we thank God for His great mercy to our parish family. Don’t miss our feast day! Get the day off of work today!

Everyone who even thinks about entering the right path is liable to endure a multitude of all possible temptations. Blessed and most blessed are those who have entered the right path.

Scripture Reading for the Coming Week 
29/5/22, 06:00 PM
Posted by Fr. Gregory

"This is the cause of all evils: the ignorance of the Scriptures. We go into battle without arms, and how ought we to come off safe?" -St. John Chrysostom, Homily IX on Colossians.

In order to help increase the general knowledge of scripture in our parish family we present here for your edification the scripture readings for the coming week. At least one Gospel Reading and one Epistle reading are assigned for each day of the year (although during Great Lent the readings are from the Old Testament). Hearing or reading only those readings appointed for Sunday merely scratches the surface of the great spiritual wealth that the scriptures provide us. Some of the readings are easily understandable – others are less so. As Orthodox Christians we do not make private interpretation of scripture, but rather consult the fathers of the Church for their explanations to aid us in our understanding. Those wishing to have access to such explanations are asked to contact Fr. Gregory or inquire in the kiosk for further reading in this regard. Bibles may also be acquired in the kiosk.

Monday: Acts 17:1-15 & John 11:47-57
Tuesday: Acts 17:19-28 & John 12:19-36
Wednesday: Acts 18:22-28 & John 12:36-47
Thursday: Acts 1:1-12 & Luke 24:36-53
Friday: Acts 19:1-8 & John 14:1-11
Saturday: Acts 20:7-12 & John 14:10-21

Ïîíåäåëüíèê: Äåÿí. 17:1-15 è îò Èîàííà 11:47-57
Âòîðíèê: Äåÿí. 17:19-28 è Èîàííà 12:19-36
Ñðåäà: Äåÿí. 18:22-28 è îò Èîàííà 12:36-47
×åòâåðã: Äåÿí. 1:1-12 è îò Ëóêè 24:36-53
Ïÿòíèöà: Äåÿí. 19:1-8 è îò Èîàííà 14:1-11
Ñóááîòà: Äåÿí. 20:7-12 è îò Èîàííà 14:10-21

Confession & Communion at St. Vladimir’s + Rule to Prepare for Communion 
29/5/22, 06:00 AM
Posted by Fr. Gregory

Confession and Communion are the two sacraments we most often partake of as Orthodox Christians and thus it behooves us to learn about these, how to prepare for these, and how to best take advantage of the Grace that our Lord freely gives us in these sacraments. At St. Vladimir’s we have created a special web site for this purpose with much information in this regard. Please find the web site listed below and please contact Fr. Gregory with questions!

You Are a Missionary 
27/5/22, 06:00 PM
Posted by Fr. Gregory


The Lord has entrusted us with the Pearl of Great Price – the Orthodox Faith. Are we hiding this? Are we keeping it for ourselves? Or are we following the example of the Apostles and working actively to spread our saving faith? If you had the cure for a bodily disease like cancer you would never keep that to yourself – it is obvious that this would be unethical and sinful. But we have the cure for DEATH! And sadly – we mostly keep it to ourselves. And that is even more unethical and sinful than hiding the cure for any bodily disease. Share your faith. Invite a friend, loved one, or neighbor to the Divine Services this coming weekend – and assure them that you will be there to welcome them to St. Vladimir’s. If we would all do this – if we would make just a minimal effort to invite others – we would need to seriously rethink the size of the new church we plan to build because it would be way TOO SMALL. Let’s do that. Let’s make all our plans useless because there are just too many people in our parish family! Success only comes before work in the dictionary – let us get to work spreading our Orthodox Faith by simply inviting others to join us at St. Vladimir’s!
