Summertime in the Parish

June 18, 2019 Featured

As in most Orthodox parishes, summertime at St. Athanasius offers a more relaxed pace of church life, especially compared to the springtime (Lent and Pascha,) early fall (various feasts and “back to school,”) and wintertime (Nativity Fast, Christmas, and Epiphany.) Already this summer, our parish family has concluded the Paschal season and Sunday School year, celebrated two Great Feasts, organized a retreat for our Russian-speaking parishioners, and hosted our annual Vacation Church School for our children. (You can see photos of these events below.)

Nonetheless, we look forward to a number of exciting church moments and celebrations over the course of June and July:

  • ongoing Christian Education every Wednesday night (720-820pm) following our Wednesday night Vespers at 630pm
  • ongoing cycle of weekly services (see online calendar)
  • Friday Night Disco (on Friday, June 21: see Facebook Event Page)
  • Apostles’ Fast (June 24-28)
  • Feast of Ss. Peter & Paul (concluding the Fast)
    • 630pm Friday (June 28) Vigil for Apostles
    • 9am Saturday  (June 29) Liturgy for Ss. Peter & Paul
  • Youth Camp St. Thekla in South Carolina (June 30-July 6)
  • Orthodox Youth Mission-Service Team Trip (July 7-12) to Knox Co., KY
  • Youth Camp St. John in Indiana (July 14-20)
  • Special Vespers & Film Celebrating St. Elizabeth the New Martyr (Wed., July 17)
  • Annual Diocesan Assembly in Florida (July 23-26)
  • Beginning of the Dormition Fast (August 1)
