Dormition Fast (Thekapentavgoustos)

We are now in a period known as "Thekapentavgoustos". There is a 14 day fast, as we prepare for the Feast of the Falling Asleep (Kimissis) of the Theotokos on August 15th. In addition, within these 15 days is the Feast of the Transfiguration of Our Lord (August 6th). All are encouraged to follow the fast and attend the extra services scheduled - mainly the Paraklesis or Supplications to the Theotokos. We will pray the Paraklisis service on the first day as well as Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays during the fast.

Dormition Family Picnic

Join us for the Divine Liturgy and a festive family picnic as we commemorate the Dormition of the Theotokos on August 15th. Following the services, enjoy delicious food, fellowship, and fun for all ages. Everyone is welcome-Orthodox and non-Orthodox alike. We invite parishioners to bring their friends, neighbors, family members, and guests as we share the joy of this special feast day together.

Backpack Blessing

We will have our annual backpack blessing on Sunday, August 16^th immediately after Liturgy.

Older parishioners are also welcome to bring their work bags to be blessed as well!
