Blessed Lent! Καλή Σαρακοστή!
Participate in the joy of this season as we embrace the spiritual challenges it sets before us—pray more frequently, attend services and fast—so that we may truly experience the fullness of Christ’s Resurrection everyday, and especially on Great and Holy Pascha.
Families, please also note that on the first three Fridays of each March and April we will have our regularly scheduled youth ministry programs prior to the Salutations to the Theotokos (Heretismoi). We pray that this makes the Lenten season easier as families have more opportunities to pray together.
Please see our Lenten Service Schedule for the month of March below, and check out the flyer for our annual rotating Pre-Sanctified Liturgy schedule. Our Holy Week Schedule is forth-coming.
