About our Worship & Liturgical Life:

Each Sunday is the Lord's Day, the first day of the week, in which Jesus rose from the
dead.We commemorate Christ's Resurrection specifically once each year on Pascha (aka
Easter).  Each Sunday we gather in worship in celebration of His Resurrection, having a
mini-Pascha each week.

The Orthodox Church celebrates Twelve Great Feasts throughout the year, in
addition to Pascha, the Feast of Feasts.  These 12 feasts commemorate the most import-
ant events in the life of our Lord Jesus Christ and His Mother the Theotokos, as well as 
the finding of Christ's Cross. These days are especially important opportunities to set 
aside our ordinary routines, keep the day holy, and participate in the 
worship of the Church.

Whenever possible, we encourage everyone to make an extra effort to attend the
services of these Great Feasts and to celebrate them as a community of faith.

The Church also honors saints and other feasts throughout the year that go beyond 
thetwelve great feasts.Please consider joining us in prayer as a community as we 
worship our Lord, Who is wondrous in His saints, throughout the year.

Phone Issues

We are again experiencing intermittent issues with our phone service.  Fr.
