We begin the month of January (and the new secular year) with the Feast of the Circumcision of Our Lord. Mass will be celebrated at 10am with Matins at 9:30 and a pot-luck brunch and games following.
The Christmas season ends with the Feast of the Epiphany of Our Lord, which will be observed on the Eve, January 5, at 7pm. The Blessing of Water will precede Liturgy at 6:30, and a pot-luck supper will follow.
We will continue our collection of canned and packaged food for the Manna Food Bank through January 11.
The Epiphany season will last until February 8, when the three “gesima” Sundays – Septuagesima, Sexagesima, and Quinquagesima – prepare us for the season of Lent. During this time, it is customary in the Orthodox Church for homes to be blessed. Please speak to Fr. Nicholas to schedule yours.
