Ascension; st Nicholas
Christ is Risen!
We greet you for the last time, dear brothers and sisters, with an Easter greeting.
On Tuesday 19 May, at 6:00 AM, Matins will be held for the Apodosis of Pascha, according to the Easter rite. On Wednesday 20th May, the Liturgy will begin at 8:30 AM, and the evening Vigil will be at 6:00 PM, as usual.
On Thursday 21st May, the Feast of the Ascension of the Lord, the Liturgy will be at 8:30 AM, as well as on Friday 22nd May, the Feast of St. Nicholas.
We are currently undergoing major renovations to our toilet facilities. Please be patient. Children should be especially supervised: although the work area is clearly marked, where no one except workers should enter, children sometimes overstep the boundaries. Therefore, we ask parents to keep a close eye on their children (and those of others).
