Summertime in the Parish

July 1, 2023 Featured

In the previous month (June,) our parish experienced grace upon grace:

  • we celebrated the glorious Feast of Pentecost,
  • we held our annual Pentecost Picnic at HighBridge Park in Wilmore,
  • we welcomed new catechumens and members,
  • we saw a young couple get married,
  • we continued our search for an assistant priest with progress,
  • we launched a new search for a semi-permanent location for our St. Nina daughter mission,
  • and we hosted our annual Pan-Orthodox Vacation Church School!

Photos of all these things can be found at the bottom of this page.  Now we look forward to a calmer July during which we hope to welcome you to our parish. For the month of July and even into the early fall, you can explore our full online church calendar here or look at a “hard copy” calendar (on the right.) In general, our normal weekly schedule for the summer includes:

  • 630pm Saturday Evening Service (Cathedral Vigil or Great Vespers)
    • 730pm Saturday Confessions following the evening service
  • 930am Sunday Liturgy with Coffee Hour following
    • 12-1230pm Sunday Bread Ministry (free distribution of bread and other foods)
  • 630pm Wednesday Vespers (720pm Christian Ed. each night–with rotating themes)
  • other services, especially Molebens and Akathist Services, according to the calendar
