Holy Week 2021

Important Information About Holy Week

 

With glory to Christ our God for his holy and saving passion and resurrection, for our community, for the prayers that all have offered, and for our ability to gather in person for the sacred services of Holy Week and Pascha, please review these points:

  • All services are in person, and they will continue to be live-streamed on You Tube and Facebook.
  • There are no longer any sign-ups for any service.
  • Please review the Holy Week Worship Schedule below, as this year we are doing all of the Holy Week services prescribed for parishes, and times have been adjusted from previous years.
  • Masks are encouraged and not required.
  • As mentioned in the Town Hall, out of respect for all parishioners, the community center will be available for increased spacing and overflow from April 24 through May 2. The services will be able to be seen there, candles can be lit by icons, and you will be guided by the parish council at the time of partaking of the mysteries and receiving palms, flowers, eggs, etc.
  • There will be two mask-only services in May: May 8 Orthros and Liturgy (Follows Pascha Order and includes the celebration of St. John Evangelist and Theologian)    and Wednesday, May 26 (Mid Pentecost)
  • If you or a loved one would like a visit, please contact your clergy.

A blessed Paschal season and many years to all the families.
