Weekly Educational Offering - Prepare for the Coming Sunday! 
20/4/22, 06:00 PM
Posted by Fr. Gregory

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.

Confess Early – but not Often – for Pascha 
19/4/22, 06:00 PM
Posted by Fr. Gregory

Those who confess beginning on Friday, April 15 and any time during Holy Week may partake of Divine Communion during any of the Holy Week & Bright Week Divine Liturgies if they have read their pre-Communion rule. Please plan to come to Confession early in Holy Week so that your Confession will not be rushed due to long lines of others waiting for Confession. ONCE YOU HAVE CONFESSED YOU SHOULD NOT CONFESS AGAIN UNLESS YOU FALL INTO A VERY, VERY, VERY SERIOUS SIN. In other words, if you come for a second confession during this time please have a police report to present to the priest explaining your sin. There are MANY who need to confess this week - literally hundreds. Please be merciful to your priests and only confess one time unless there is an extraordinarily serious need to confess a second time.

Monday First Things - Teachings of the Holy Fathers 
18/4/22, 06:00 AM
Posted by Fr. Gregory


Too much stress is harmful. You can mistakenly lose your strength and become weak. You must surround yourself with the iron ring of the commandments. You must perform every action only after you have verified whether it is in accordance with the commandments, with Holy Scripture. And you should pronounce your words only after you have prayed and considered them.

Scripture Reading for the Coming Week 
17/4/22, 06:00 PM
Posted by Fr. Gregory

"This is the cause of all evils: the ignorance of the Scriptures. We go into battle without arms, and how ought we to come off safe?" -St. John Chrysostom, Homily IX on Colossians.

In order to help increase the general knowledge of scripture in our parish family we present here for your edification the scripture readings for the coming week. At least one Gospel Reading and one Epistle reading are assigned for each day of the year (although during Great Lent the readings are from the Old Testament). Hearing or reading only those readings appointed for Sunday merely scratches the surface of the great spiritual wealth that the scriptures provide us. Some of the readings are easily understandable – others are less so. As Orthodox Christians we do not make private interpretation of scripture, but rather consult the fathers of the Church for their explanations to aid us in our understanding. Those wishing to have access to such explanations are asked to contact Fr. Gregory or inquire in the kiosk for further reading in this regard. Bibles may also be acquired in the kiosk.

Monday: Matthew 21:18-43, Ezekiel 1:1-20, Exodus 1:1-20, Job 1:1-12, Matthew 24:3-35
Tuesday: Matthew 22:15-23:39, Ezekiel 1:21-2:1, Exodus 2:5-10, Job 1:13-22, Matthew 24:36-26:2
Wednesday: John 12:17-50, Ezekiel 2:3-3:3, Exodus 2:11-22, Job 2:1-10, Matthew 26:6-16
Thursday: Luke 22-1-39, Matthew 26:1-20, John 13:3-17, Matthew 26:21-39, Luke 22:43-45, Matthew 26:40-27:2
Friday: Please attend the Divine Services on line – the list of readings is too long to publish here
Saturday: Romans 6:3-11 & Matthew 28:1-20

Понедельник: от Матфея 21:18-43, Иезекииля 1:1-20, Исход 1:1-20, Иов Job 1:1-12, от Матфея24:3-35
Вторник: от Матфея 22:15-23:39, Иезекииля 1:21-2:1, Исход 2:5-10, Иов Job 1:13-22, от Матфея 24:36-26:2
Среда: от Иоанна 12:17-50, Иезекииля 2:3-3:3, Исход 2:11-22, Иов Job 2:1-10, от Матфея 26:6-16
Четверг: от Луки 22-1-39, от Матфея 26:1-20, от Иоанна 13:3-17, от Матфея 26:21-39, от Луки 22:43-45, от Матфея 26:40-27:2
Пятница: Пожалуйста приходите в божественные службы.
