Reminder
Reminder: "The Sacrament of The Holy Communion in The Orthodox Church is offered to Orthodox Christians only who have been baptized and/or chrismated (confirmed) in Our Church who are prepared with Confession, fasting, prayers and have the blessing of their spiritual father to receive it. Other Christians may approach the Holy Chalice only to receive a blessing from the priest. They can also come forth at the end of The Divine Liturgy to receive "antidoron" the Holy Bread that the priest if giving. Thank you very much for your understanding!"
