As the summer months of July and August begin, with many traveling far and wide for vacations and visits to family (and camp at Antiochian Village), please remember to plan your trips to include a visit to an Orthodox Church for Sunday services. Fr. Nicholas can recommend Antiochian parishes; and remember to contact the priest ahead of time to let him know that you are Orthodox before receiving communion.
There are two major holy days in the month of August: The Feast of the Transfiguration of Our Lord (August 6) and the Dormition (Assumption) of the Blessed Virgin Mary (August 15). The first will be celebrated on the eve, August 5, with Vespers at 6:30PM, Mass at 7, and a pot-luck supper following. The Dormition will be celebrated on Saturday, August 15, with Matins at 9:30AM, Mass at 10, and a pot-luck brunch following. Saturday Vespers at 6PM will continue throughout the summer.
