There is no day like Pascha: it is the feast of feasts and the day of days. It is the most important feast and the most important day of the year. What a great day to invite a friend to join us at St. Vladimir's! Please take a moment now and invite a friend – or two – or five – or more to the Paschal service. Pascha is April 12 so do not wait! Join us beginning at 11:00 p.m. on Saturday, April 11 and stay with us right through our Paschal meal early Sunday morning after all the beautiful Divine Services. Do not hide the Pearl of Great Price – invite a friend to join us this year for the Lord's Glorious Resurrection at St. Vladimir's!

We present here a short educational offering for both children and adults on the upcoming Sunday's principle Gospel reading so that all can better prepare for the Divine Services. Parents are asked to review the children’s portion with their children. It is very important for us to attend the Divine Services on Sundays and whenever else we are able, but in addition it is our spiritual responsibility to educate ourselves and our families in the faith. It is our hope that this mid-week offering will be an aid in this regard. Please contact Fr. Gregory with questions or suggestions.

Those who confess beginning on Friday, April 3 and any time during Holy Week may partake of Divine Communion during any of the Holy Week & Bright Week Divine Liturgies if they have read their pre-Communion rule. Please plan to come to Confession early in Holy Week so that your Confession will not be rushed due to long lines of others waiting for Confession. ONCE YOU HAVE CONFESSED YOU SHOULD NOT CONFESS AGAIN UNLESS YOU FALL INTO A VERY, VERY, VERY SERIOUS SIN. In other words, if you come for a second confession during this time please have a police report to present to the priest explaining your sin. There are MANY who need to confess this week - literally hundreds. Please be merciful to your priests and only confess one time unless there is an extraordinarily serious need to confess a second time.
