September Newsletter

August 30, 2022

Mass for special feast days this month will be held on Wednesday, September 7, the Eve of the Feast of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin, and on Tuesday, September 13, the Eve of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross, and on Wednesday, September 28, the Eve of the Feast of Dedication of St. Michael the Archangel. On each of these occasions, Vespers will be offered at 6:30PM, Mass will be at 7, and pot-luck suppers will follow.

During the summer, several improvements to our church grounds have been made. Roxbury Road has been paved, making the entrance to the church from that direction more comfortable, and the parking lot has been increased and connected to the driveway of our priest’s residence, allowing for entry to the church from Randolph Road. We will now use 800 E. Randolph Road as the address for the church.

A new shrine has been erected with an icon of the Transfiguration of Our Lord. On the Feast of the Transfiguration, a procession was made to this shrine which was then blessed. A bench has been placed nearby to provide a beautiful, peaceful place to spend time in meditation. A procession was also made to the shrine of the Blessed Virgin Mary at the Mary garden, while we sang the Litany of the Blessed Virgin, on the Feast of the Dormition, and another will be made to the Holy Cross shrine, as we sing the Litany of the Cross, on the Feast of the Exaltation of the Cross.
