Fr. Gregory, Elizabeth, Maria, Michael, and Natalia invite everyone to their home to celebrate Fr. Gregory’s name’s day on February 9 beginning at 6:00 p.m. Their home is located at 3566 Joanna Ct., Saline, MI 48176. Fr. Gregory is named in honor of St. Gregory the Theologian, who is celebrated on January 25/February 7 each year. Please join us!

Please note that there will be no Vigil on Saturday night, January 7. Instead, we will follow our usual parish practice and have Vespers after the parish meal on January 7. Please spread the word to those whom you know, or even suspect, were planning to attend Vigil on January 7.

Please note that the heavenly protector of our Sisterhood, St. Xenia of St. Petersburg is celebrated this year on February 6. Vigil will be held on February 5 at 6:00 p.m., with Divine Liturgy at 8:00 a.m. on February 6. All Sisters all called upon to prepare themselves to Confess and Commune of the Holy Mysteries on this most important feast day for the Sisterhood!

The schedule of services for the Nativity of the Lord can be found at the link below. Please put these important services on your schedule now! Please also note the times for confession that are available – some of these require an appointment to be made. Congratulations to all with the upcoming holy days!

NATIVITY OF THE LORD SCHEDULE

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.
