Our Parish Patronal Feast
On Friday, November 6, our parish will celebrate its patronal feast day. Many clergy and pilgrims from other parishes will be joining us, and the divine services will be led by our ruling hierarch, Archbishop George.
As hosts, we will welcome all our guests, and following the Divine Liturgy, a festive meal will be held in our parish hall. We encourage all our parishioners to take an active part in the celebrations: last week, the sisters carried out a thorough cleaning of the church, while the brothers tidied the church grounds and completed some necessary minor repairs. We now need assistance with preparing the meal, welcoming the Archbishop, and cleaning the church after the All-Night Vigil and the Divine Liturgy. We invite everyone to help in whatever way they can.
On Thursday 5 November the Vigil will begin at 6:00 PM. On Friday 6 November the blessing of water will take place at 7:30 AM, prior to the Divine Liturgy. We ask all parishioners to be present at the church in time to greet the Archbishop, which is scheduled for 8:30 AM.
Services on Saturday 7th and Sunday 8th November will follow the regular schedule.
