Nativity Lent began November 28 
21/12/15, 06:00 AM
Posted by Fr. Gregory
We congratulate all our parish family with the beginning of the yearly Lenten period preceding the feast of our Lord’s Nativity! This Lenten period begins November 28 each year and runs until January 7 – the feast of our Lord’s Nativity. This Lenten period is much less stringent than Great Lent. During this fast, as usual, we abstain from meat and dairy products. But fish is allowed on many days. Please consult our parish schedule (linked below) for more details on the culinary aspects of fasting. Of course, the culinary fast is a tool to aid us spiritually to prepare for our Lord’s Nativity – it is not an end unto itself. If you have not fasted in the past please consult Fr. Gregory or Fr. Michael for practical advice on how to be successful in fasting. Fasting a very important way that we place ourselves in obedience to the Church, the Ark of our salvation, and extraordinarily helpful in our spiritual struggle to draw nearer to our Lord at this special time of year.

Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Tom*,
Simon, James, Judas, and Jude,

All English Service Cycle is December 12 – MIDNIGHT LITURGY!  
10/12/15, 06:00 PM
Posted by Fr. Gregory
December is shaping up to be a really busy month! Thus, in order to continue our tradition of one all-English cycle of services per month we will serve a Midnight Liturgy on December 12. More information here:

http://stvladimiraami.org/flyers/midnightliturgy.pdf

Please join us! There are not many opportunities for us as Orthodox Christians to struggle physically – here is one and a good one. Participating in the Divine Liturgy is always good, but when we serve at midnight we cannot help but recall the early Christians who also served in the middle of the night to keep safe from the authorities which sought to destroy them. All are welcome!
