June – Apostles’ Fast, “VCS,” & More…

In these recent days, the Orthodox Church throughout the world has pivoted from the Paschal season to the days that follow Pentecost — which was observed on the last day of May this year. In the month of June, we begin the Apostles’ Fast and our parish also prepares to host the annual Pan-Orthodox Vacation Church School Program (June 15-19.) You can register for VCS here and you can indicate your interest in volunteering here. Any children from pre-K (potty-trained) through those entering 6th grade are welcome to register!

Of course, we also invite you to visit our parish. You can learn more about making an actual visit to St. Athanasius here. You can also take a peek inside our church by checking our parish YouTube channel. Check out our updated google calendar here (and you can import it into your own calendar if you wish) and our pdf calendar for June here:

We also welcome those who are in (or close to) Madison County to consider a visit our growing St. Nina Mission in Berea, which helps extend the reach of the Orthodox Faith along the I-75 corridor and Wilderness Trail. We are drawing people from Somerset, London, Corbin, and beyond — and are celebrating at least 9 services in our Berea chapel each month! ) If you live beyond Harrodsburg or Danville, consider a visit to our Mercer Chapel, which meets twice per month. You can learn more here.

Below is a small collection of photos from May 2026 that include Pentecost Day. If you have questions about our calendar or any aspect of our Faith or parish life, please reach out to our associate priest Fr. Giorgi at fr.giorgi@bluegrassorthodox.org.
