Christ is Risen!   Indeed, He is Risen!
Χριστός ἀνέστη! Ἀληθῶς ἀνέστη!
Хрїстóсъ воскрéсе! Воистину воскресе!
Hristos a înviat! Adevărat a înviat!
!المسيح قام! حقا قام
 Kristus nousi kuolleista! Totisesti nousi!
 Si Kristo ay nabuhay! Siya nga ay nabuhay!
 基督復活了 他確實復活了
 ⲠⲓⲬⲣⲓⲥⲧⲟⲥ ⲁϥⲧⲱⲛϥ! Ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲉⲑⲙⲏⲓ ⲁϥⲧⲱⲛϥ!

Some photos from our journey Good Friday to Pascha. Many years to the newly illumined Annete and Timothy!

​We were blessed with a beautiful crisp sunny Palm Sunday to begin Holy Week 2023.

One of our younger parishioners, carried by youthful zeal, no doubt, missed the right turn but his brother convinced him not to proceed to process around the block by himself.

There are services every day this week.  Even if you have waited till the 11th hour, please join us and don’t miss out on this beautiful journey of faith. 

Orthodox Christianity curious? 

This is an opportunity for you to slow down, quiet your world and get a taste of our rich liturgical life.  

Check out the calendar or download our full schedule here. 

We were delighted and grateful that Father Ephraim was able to join us for Sunday liturgy and talk on April 2nd.    As it so happens Father Paul fell ill, (he’s fully recovered, since, by the way), so we were fortunate that Fr. Ephraim was able to step in and serve the liturgy too!

After, Father Ephraim gave a talk on the subject of the sacrament of confession.  

So generous, with his time, Father Ephraim fielded a variety of questions from the profound to the practical.  Such as preparing for confession, balancing forgiveness with self-care with those who have abused you, to  how to fast before the communion.   

In his answers Father Ephraim mixed a rich knowledge of the history and traditions of various Orthodox churches
and deep and loving insight in how we can live in faith today. 

​A profound thank you to Father Ephraim for visiting us.  We so look forward to many more visits in the future.  ​

We invite you to join us for Holy Week as we walk with our Lord to his Passion to witness Christ's resurrection and the celebration of Pascha (Easter).  
We welcome all to join us in our journey towards renewal, forgiveness, and hope; to come and experience the transformative power of Christ's love through the Holy Week services in our Orthodox Mission Church.
