CONFESSIONS - As we continue our Lenten Journey, we have our minds focused on being prepared to celebrate the Lord’s triumph over sin and death through His glorious Resurrection. Our celebration of Christ’s Paschal Victory has greater spiritual meaning and brings more joy when we have received the Lord’s forgiveness through the Mystery of Repentance. CONFESSIONS ARE HEARD BEFORE EVERY SERVICE AND BY APPOINTMENT. Please plan on making your Easter Confession in a timely manner and to avoid the “rush” so that your confession may be made peacefully and prayerfully.
PASCHA FLOWERS – donations being accepted now
VESPERS OF PASCHA – It is an annual tradition in our parish to continue the celebration of the Pascha Midnight Liturgy with Paschal Vespers, this year on Sunday, May 2, at 12:00 p.m. The Vespers service will be followed by an “Easter Egg Hunt” for the children. We look forward to next year when we can resume our traditional Pascha afternoon pot-luck.
BLESSING OF PASCHAL BASKETS - Baskets will be blessed in the hall after the Midnight Liturgy. Tables will be placed inside the hall and on the patio and arranged to provide for social distancing, with the hall doors being left open. On Sunday, baskets will be blessed in church following Vespers. People will remain in their pews for the prayer of blessing and the priest will circulate the pews to sprinkle the baskets with Holy Water.
