The first renunciation is that of material things, the second that of the passions, the third that of ignorance.

Please plan to join us for the commemoration of the Venerable Sergius of Radonezh on October 7 at 6:00 p.m. and October 8 at 8:00 a.m. All are welcome! The services will be inside the church, so we ask that you sign up. This allows us to understand the number of people that will attend since we have limited, physically distanced spaces:

SIGN UP TO ATTEND SERVICES - WEEK OF 10/5/20

Converts especially: we are talking to you! Cradle Orthodox are welcome too, but those who have chosen as adults to come to the Holy Church often have a zeal to help others find the True Faith, and have good ideas in this regard about what worked well when they became Orthodox – and what didn’t. This is a chance to put those hard-learned lessons into practice to help welcome others to St. Vladimir’s, and potentially welcome them to the Holy Church!

It is not difficult to get rid of material things if you so desire; but only with great effort will you be able to get rid of thoughts about them…

Fr. Gregory Joyce, Dean

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.

For Adults: from the writings of Blessed Theophylact

For Children: from the Antiochian Archdiocese (various age groups)
