Our Deacon Colin Bower will be ordained a priest on the feast of the Nativity of St. John the Baptist, this Wednesday July 7 at the Diocesan Cathedral in Des Plaines, IL.

First, we ask your prayers for Fr. Colin, Katherine, Macrina, and Mardarije - that the Lord will bless them all as Fr. Colin enters the priesthood to serve our parish family.

Second, we ask you to be attentive to the fact that beginning July 8 we will have daily evening services at 6:00 p.m. and daily Divine Liturgy mostly at 8:00 a.m., but with some variation on Sundays, through July 18. FIND THE FULL SCHEDULE OF SERVICES HERE.

Please participate in these special Divine Services as your schedule allows, but try to attend at least one of the Divine Services during this time in support of Fr. Colin and for the good of your salvation.

Congratulations to Fr. Colin on his upcoming ordination! May the Lord grant him many years of service in His Holy Church!
