We have noticed an odd practice in our parish that no doubt Vladyka will notice also, and correct. This is the practice of everyone gathering on the north side of the church after they partake of Holy Communion until the faithful are blessed with the chalice and the priest says "always, now and ever, and unto the ages of ages!". There is no reason to gather on the north side of the church, and as more and more people return after the pandemic it is logistically almost impossible in any case. You should return to your place after you partake of Holy Communion. Please contact me with questions.
