January Newsletter

January 7, 2021

The feast day services which we will celebrate this month are the Circumcision of Our Lord on January 1, with Matins at 9:30AM and Mass at 10AM, and the Feast of the Epiphany on the Eve, January 5, with the Blessing of Water at 6:30PM and Mass at 7:00. Additional week-night services will be announced soon.

The annual Parish Meeting, at which new Council members are elected and reports are given on the finances and activities of the parish, will have to be in a “Zoom” meeting this year, the date to be announced.

Metropolitan Joseph has asked that house blessings that would normally occur in Epiphany be postponed until summer in areas where the number of COVID cases is high. Holy water that will be blessed at the Epiphany service will be available for any who would like to take some home (please bring your own container).

The full January newsletter is found here.
