We stand on the brink of the Great Feast of our Lord’s Nativity in the Flesh, then the 12 days following Christmas (including New Year-Circumcision,) and then the Great Feast of our Lord’s Theophany, observed Jan. 5-13 (and in practice, for much of January as we conduct the traditional Epiphany Houseblessing services.)
We welcome you to join us for our pre-Christmas and Christmas services–and to all parish events happening in these solemn yet joyful days. If you are a first-time visitor) please explore this welcome page. Check out the many parish events on our December calendar (on the right) or via the google calendar link (which is updated through January.) While “online” is no substitute for “in-person,” feel free to watch our services and weekly Christian Education classes online. If you have any questions about church life, please reach out to Fr. Justin via email or text (859-361-2823.)
