Paraklesis Service Schedule for the "Fifteen Days of August"
Keeping with the Holy Tradition of the Church, seeking divine help through the intercession of the Theotokos, we will once again gather for communal prayer as we lift up our voices to her for our health and well-being through the Paraklesis service.
The Paraklesis services will be offered at 6:00 pm on Friday evening, August 1st and Friday evening, August 8th. The Paraklesis service will also be offered at 10:00 am on Monday morning, August 4th and on Wednesday morning, August 13th.
Also, the feast day services during the month of August are as follows -
The Great Vespers Service for the Transfiguration of the Lord will be offered on the evening of Tuesday, August 5th at 6:00 pm. The Orthros/Preparatory Service will be offered on Wednesday, August 6th at 9:00 am followed by the Divine Liturgy at 10:00 am.
The Great Vespers Service for the Falling Asleep of the Holy Theotokos will be offered on the evening of Thursday, August 14th at 6:00 pm. The Orthros/Preparatory Service will be offered on Friday, August 15th at 9:00 am followed by the Divine Liturgy at 10:00 am.
Please make every effort to be present to help pray for the sick, the suffering and for those held in captivity during the Paraklesis services throughout the Fifteen Days of August.
You may receive a form to write/offer the names of your loved ones who need prayer for health and well-being from the narthex of the church. Please return your names to Fr. Andrew before each Paraklesis Service and more importantly, make every effort to be present for the services to be part of the prayers for our loved ones.
