May Newsletter

May 4, 2022

Christ is risen! Indeed He is risen! Thanks to all who contributed to making our Holy Week and Paschal celebrations among the most beautiful we’ve had. God even provided some of the most beautiful weather we’ve ever had, especially for those ceremonies which required outside processions.

We will continue our celebration of the Resurrection of the Lord during the entire month of May. On Sunday, the 22nd, we will welcome Bishop JOHN, the episcopal overseer for our Western Rite parishes. His Grace will be here for Saturday Vespers and the Sunday morning services, as we celebrate the Dedication of our church building and remember our twenty-six-year history. More details regarding the celebrations will be announced soon.

Thanks to Fr. Nicholas, who has become our parish gardener, for the plantings around the grounds of the church property. As the flowering plants in our Mary garden, between the deck and the ramp, and other areas come alive this Spring, we see reminders of the Resurrection in God’s beautiful creation.
