All Souls Saturday
This past Saturday and this upcoming Saturday we celebrate All Souls Saturday. All Souls Saturday is a special day when we specifically pray for the soul's of the dead.
Holy Presanctified Gifts
During the Great Fast, we celebrate the Liturgy of the Presanctified Gifts, oftentimes referred to as Presanctified Liturgy. During this liturgy, the faithful are provided an opportunity to receive communion which was consecrated on Sunday during Divine Liturgy.
St. Ephraim
St Ephraim the Syrian was a prolific writer who is said to have written over one million lines of songs and poems. His most well known prayer is the Prayer of St. Ephraim, which we pray often during the Great Fast.
St. Zoe and St. Photina

Today we celebrate the feast day of Saints Zoe and Photina. This isn't our patron saint, Photina, but a different Photina.
Happy Birthday, Fr. Michael
Today we celebrate the nativity of our very own Fr. Michael! God grant him many years!
Feast of the Three Holy Hierarchs
Quick, who are the three holy hierarchs?
Today we celebrate the feast of the three holy hierarchs. They each have their own individual feast in the month of January, but we celebrate them today in a special way.
Grabbing Quote
“If we don’t provide Jesus Christ, nothing else is worthy…He’s the only worthy gift to those who are seekers.”Veneration of the Chains of Peter
Feast day alert!
Today we celebrate the feast of the veneration of the chains of Peter. There are two sets of chains collectively known as the Chains of Peter.
