We welcome our new Pastor, Fr. Christopher and his family, Matushka Jennifer and their children Andrew, Gideon and John.

Because of the current Covid surge, I am not going “on the road” this year, but parishioners with special requests can call to arrange a blessing.  In fact, however, house blessing does not require that it be done by a priest.  It is easy enough to do, taking only ten minutes, if that.  What a great way for a family to get together for a brief and inspiring spiritual experience.  Parishioners can help themselves to the recently-blessed Holy Water, which will remain in the vestibule for another week.

We welcome with joy, his grace Archbishop Paul, celebrating the Divine Liturgy with us.

In the Christian traditions of East and West, Eucharist and art hold much in common. Both have sensory and spiritual dimensions. Both bring people together. Both transform minds and hearts. Both feed the soul's hunger for personal meaning and interpersonal communion. Both express praise and thanks to God. And both the Eucharist and the arts are about living life to the full.
The Eucharist has inspired countless masterpieces of visual, musical, and literary art. In turn, the arts have added beauty and joy to the celebration of Eucharist. The interplay of Eucharist, art, and life is the focus of Father Alexander Garklavs' presentation for this year's Eastern Churches Seminar.
Father Garklavs is currently pastor of Holy Trinity Orthodox Church in Parma, Ohio. He formerly served as chancellor of the Orthodox Church in America.

As the first virtual presentation in its 36-year history, this year's seminar will debut on YouTube on October 25, 2020, at YouTube.com/NotreDameCoIIege

During this period of shutdown, work in our parish continues. 

We are undertaking a renovation and reorganization  of our kitchen. 

Dear Parishioners and Friends,

We have received today pastoral directives from our Diocesan Hierarch, His Grace, Bishop Paul.  Here are the important points that concern our parish.

We were honored to host His Grace Bishop Paul on his archpastoral visit

Our church school students created a Spiritual Hospital. The "Saint/s" told of their healing efforts. 

On this Feast of the Meeting of the Lord, we bless candles and contemplate the role of light in the world and in our lives – a light that comes from God and is a way we experience and encounter our Creator.

A Prayer for the blessing of candles:
"O Lord Jesus Christ, the True Light, Who enlightens everyone born in this world, pour out Your blessing on these candles and sanctify them by the light of Your Grace. Grant also, O Merciful One, that as these lights, kindled with a visible flame, scatter the darkness of night, so may our hearts by an invisible fire – that is, enlightened by the glowing of the Holy Spirit – avoid the blindness caused by every sin. May we see with the cleansed eye of our soul those things that are pleasing to You and necessary for our salvation.Having overcome the darkness of this world, grant us to attain to the light that never fades: For You are our Savior, and to You we send up glory, with Your unoriginate Father, and Your all-holy, good, and life-creating Spirit, now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen."
