May Newsletter

May 20, 2023

Thanks to all who helped with our parish work day and to those who helped to make our Holy Week and Pascha observances so beautiful. We continue to celebrate the joy of the Resurrection as the Paschal season lasts until Pentecost, encompassing the entire month of May.

The Enthronement of our new Metropolitan, SABA, will take place at the Cathedral of St. Nicholas in Brooklyn, NY, on Saturday, May 13. Sayedna will be at St. Gregory’s for Matins at 9:30AM on Monday, 5/22, followed by a Deanery meeting for the clergy.

Sunday, May 21, is the Sunday nearest the day when our building was dedicated, so we will celebrate our Feast of Dedication at Mass that morning.

The Ascension Vigil will be at St. Mary’s in Hunt Valley, with Sayedna Saba, on 5/24, beginning at 4:30PM. Mass for Ascension Day at St. Gregory’s will be on Thursday, May 25, at 7PM, preceded by Vespers at 6:30.
