God willing, Deacon Dmitri Mihaliov will be ordained a priest on Sunday, August 27 for service at our St. Ambrose Mission in Mackinaw City. Ordination is the sacrament of the Holy Church that we probably least often participate in, but it is important that we all participate in this ordination appropriately. We ask all our parishioners to review the ordination instructions here and to address questions to Fr. Gregory or Fr. Colin. Please remember - the Divine Liturgy begins at 9:00 a.m. on Sunday, August 27.

Please plan to join us for the feast of the Transfiguration of the Lord, one of the twelve great feasts of the Church, on August 18 at 6:00 p.m. for Evening Services and August 19 at 8:00 a.m. for Divine Liturgy. All are welcome!

On August 19 following the Divine Liturgy the first fruits will be blessed. All are welcome to bring fruits for blessing on this day. Only fruits are blessed on this feast. This is the second feast of the Savior in August and is known in Russian as the “Apple Savior”.

If you cannot come to the Evening Services or Liturgy please try to join us on one of our live streams:

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.

Please note that the Lenten period in preparation for the feast of the Dormition of the Mother of God begins on August 14. This is fast of a stricter character, similar to Great Lent. Fish is allowed only on the feast of the Transfiguration, August 19. It is important that we make a sincere effort at fasting by abstaining from meat and dairy products, but with the express intent of abstaining from these foods to aid us in abstaining from our sins and preparing ourselves worthily for the feast of the Dormition. As with all fasting periods, we abstain from meat and dairy products during this fast. The full schedule of Divine Services denotes the strictness of the fasting days and can be found here:

Those who have questions about fasting should contact Fr. Gregory or Fr. Colin.

Since Fr. Gregory is away on vacation Fr. Colin will send an email to the parish email list today. Not on that email list? Sign up below!

There are several prayers that we sing together at St. Vladimir's. We want you to know this so that you can practice. :) And as we come out of the pandemic it is the perfect time to practice MORE! That way we will sing these with zeal - with power! WE SHOULD BE LIFTING THE ROOF WHEN WE SING THESE - THEY SHOULD BE SUNG VERY STRONGLY - ESPECIALLY THE CREED AND "HAVING BEHELD THE RESURRECTION..."

Saturday Vigil (and matins during Pentecost) - "Having Beheld the Resurrection of Christ"

Every Liturgy - "Symbol of Faith"

Every Liturgy - "Our Father"
