20/3/18, 06:00 PM
Posted by Fr. Gregory

On Wednesday evening of the 5th week of Great Lent the Holy Church appoints a very special service: the Standing of St. Andrew (or in some places, St. Maria). At this service we ready the entire canon of St. Andrew of Crete as well as the full life of St. Mary of Egypt. Join us at St. Vladimir's for one of the longest and most edifying service of the Church Year at 6:00 p.m. on Wednesday, March 21. God willing we will also broadcast this service live. If you can't be there, please join us on the live stream. But try to join us! :)

Visit of the Icon of the Theotokos “Softener of Evil Hearts” is Thursday, March 22 
20/3/18, 06:00 AM
Posted by Fr. Gregory

The myrrh-streaming icon of the Theotokos “Softener of Evil Hearts” will visit St. Vladimir’s on Thursday, March 22 into Friday, March 23. This was an unexpected and very welcome surprise. This was confirmed on Sunday, March 18 during the Divine Liturgy at St. Vladimir’s and we were able to announce it then. Here we are able to provide details.

1. We intend to keep the parish church open throughout the night as we usually do when we are blessed to have the Kursk Icon visit us. Sign up for night chaperone duty here:

2. After the Presanctified Liturgy on March 22 in the evening we will have a meal as usual, but we hope that the gentleman traveling with the icon, Sergey Fomin, will tell us more about the icon during the meal. You can learn more about the icon below.

3. We need to transport the icon and Sergey to Milwaukee on Friday, March 23. The icon must arrive in Milwaukee not later than 5:00 p.m. Central Daylight Time. We have a volunteer to do this, but if you would be able to help it would be good to have a backup as well. Please contact Fr. Gregory if you are interested in helping.

4. Flyer to share:

Monday First Things: Teachings of the Holy Fathers 
19/3/18, 06:00 AM
Posted by Fr. Gregory

“The Lord did not come to make a display. He came to heal and to teach suffering men. For one who wanted to make a display the thing would have been just to appear and dazzle the beholders. But for Him Who came to heal and to teach the way was not merely to dwell here, but to put Himself at the disposal of those who needed Him, and to be manifested according as they could bear it, not vitiating the value of the Divine appearing by exceeding their capacity to receive it.”

+ St. Athanasius the Great
