UPDATES
Masks not required.
After speaking with the Chancellor for the Metropolitan today, I was reassured that depending upon our own unique circumstances, masks may be encouraged but are not required. Please continue to take any precautions you may feel are in best interest of public safety.
Masks and sanitizer are available in the Narthex as you enter.
Let us bow down in humility and embrace the Lord's words, "...without me you can do nothing!" Lord, help us work in union with You the work which we have undertaken.
CURRENT ACTIVITIES AT ST. JOHN...
The Narthex diaper-changing room will be out of use for several weeks during renovations. We thank you for your patience.
A WORD TO REMEMBER...
Tradition is a way of life bringing people together, not only in place, but also in time.
Every living creature, great or small, expresses it’s unique beingness. It is a mystery to express oneself. It can relieve one from depression and enable communion with another being. Even greater a mystery it is, when many express themselves in unison. Music is a powerful tool for expressing oneself, and becomes majestically beautiful when used as an expression to the Creator. When people chant together, they are connecting not with those around them, but also with those of previous generations who partook in the handing down of this sacred tradition.

CATECHISM AND OUR CHURCH
Koine/Biblical Greek instruction/ Saturday, 3:15 p.m.
Catechism/ Saturday, 3:30 p.m.
Traditionally, in the Church the instruction of inquirers was not solely the responsibility of the priest, but rather of everyone. This is why we have the need to learn more of our faith so that we may give a good answer to those who ask a question of us. You may learn more at:
