TODAY! BLESSING OF THE BACKPACKS - School has begun, and we wanted to make sure that our young people and of course those members of our Parish Family who are teachers, counselors, and all school staff, received a blessing for the New Church and School Year! We ask that all PreK, Elementary, Middle and High School students, come forward with their backpacks at the appropriate time and a prayer will be said over all, asking the Lord our God to protect, bless and keep them all safe for the 2024-25 year!

Main Sermon 8/25/24


Today, September 1st is the first day of a New Ecclesiastical (Church) Year. What better way to begin a New Church Year than by bringing someone into the Sacramental Life of the Faith!!!


When someone has been previously Baptized the individual may be brought into the Faith through the Mystery (Sacrament) of Holy Chrismation.


What is Holy Chrismation and what does this mean about being a soldier for Christ?

PROSFORO NEED!!!

Bread has been the emblem of God’s providence for us, throughout humanity’s history. Both physical (bread as food) and spiritual - the επιούσιον (epiousion) or “supersubstantial” bread of the Lord’s prayer, the bread of Holy Communion.


In the Orthodox Christian church, the pinnacle of our worship is union with Christ, both spiritually but also physically, by consuming the Body and Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ.


Since the Last Supper, before every Divine Liturgy, one or more of the faithful prepare and bring bread to church to be used as the Body of Christ in the Eucharist. The Orthodox church is liturgical. For those of us who bake prosphoro, the liturgy begins as we prepare to bake!


Prosphoro is an offering to God, made from His material gifts to us, and prepared lovingly and prayerfully.


A special website is available to share with the faithful this ‘proper’ method of preparation of the holy gift according to the Greek Orthodox tradition. Please click here to learn how to bake this beautiful offering.
