Mother’s Group Meets November 27 – Young Family Group now TBD December 
1/11/22, 06:00 AM
Posted by Fr. Gregory

Our Mother’s Group is starting up again now that we’ve gone through the pandemic! The first meeting is Sunday, November 27 at 6:00 p.m. at Fr. Colin’s house. Fr. Colin’s wife Katherine is leading and organizing the group and you should contact her for more information and to RSVP: info@stvladimiraami.org. This little block of time on Sunday night is a GREAT time for dads to spend quality time with their children so that moms can have a few hours to interact with other moms.

The Young Family Group kickoff was planned for November 27 but will be rescheduled for a December date soon to be announced.

Monday First Things - Teachings of the Holy Fathers 
31/10/22, 06:00 AM
Posted by Fr. Gregory

Laziness often attacks those who labor in piety, and frequently it overcomes a person when he is negligent. To drive away this passion, the holy fathers advise us to hold on to the memory of death, eternal torments, and the blessedness of the righteous, being guided in this with humility, which, by drawing down upon us the mercy of God, will completely free us from the captivity of laziness.

Scripture Reading for the Coming Week 
30/10/22, 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: Philippians 4:10-23 & Luke 9:18-22
Tuesday: Colossians 1:1-2,7-11 & Luke 9:23-27
Wednesday: Colossians 1:18-23 & Luke 9:44-50
Thursday: Colossians 1:24-29 & Luke 9:49-56
Friday: Colossians 2:1-7 & Luke 10:1-15
Saturday: II Corinthians 3:12-18 & Luke 7:1-10

Ïîíåäåëüíèê: Ôèë. 4:10-23 è îò Ëóêè 9:18-22
Âòîðíèê: Êîë. 1:1-2,7-11 è îò Ëóêè 9:23-27
Ñðåäà: Êîë. 1:18-23 è îò Ëóêè 9:44-50
×åòâåðã: Êîë. 1:24-29 è îò Ëóêè 9:49-56
Ïÿòíèöà: Êîë. 2:1-7 è îò Ëóêè 10:1-15
Ñóááîòà: II Êîð. 3:12-18 è îò Ëóêè 7:1-10

Please find below several very nice articles on how to read the scripture from an Orthodox point of view.

Posted by Fr. Gregory

Confession and Communion are the two sacraments we most often partake of as Orthodox Christians and thus it behooves us to learn about these, how to prepare for these, and how to best take advantage of the Grace that our Lord freely gives us in these sacraments. At St. Vladimir’s we have created a special web site for this purpose with much information in this regard. Please find the web site listed below and please contact Fr. Gregory with questions!

St. John Kochurov Celebrated November 13 – Join the St. John Society! 
28/10/22, 06:00 PM
Posted by Fr. Gregory

The first priestly martyr of the Bolshevik Revolution was Fr. John Kochurov. Fr. John had spent many years in Chicago as a missionary, and accomplished amazing things during this missionary work. Fr. John was murdered on October 31/November 13, and we therefore commemorate him annual on this date. This year November 13 falls on a Sunday. Our diocesan fund for those in need of assistance is named in St. John’s honor. This November 13 we will hold a membership drive at St. Vladimir’s with the goal of making our parish the single parish of the diocese with the most St. John Kochurov Society members. Learn more at the link below, and please consider joining the St. John Kochurov Society!
