Hello All:

Please see the attached letter from His Eminence Metropolitan JOSEPH regarding the coronavirus (COVID-19). The essence of the letter states that people should remain home for services and the only services that will be done are:

Weekly Orthros and Divine Liturgy on Sundays
Friday Akathist (Madeyeh) Supplication service to the Most Holy Theotokos (appropriate during these times)
Next Wednesday evening for the Feast of the Annunciation

These services will be conducted by Father Thomas and one or two chanters and a minimal number of altar servers to keep in compliance with the CDC recommendations on gathering. The church will remain closed and locked during these services except for the people Fr. Thomas will ask to come to make the liturgical services possibe so please do not show up and expect to come in.

We just purchased thorugh a generous donation a camera and equipment to stream the services live on Facebook. Hopefully we will make our first attempt on Friday and see how it goes. 

Also, via this link on antiochian.org, you can find "readers services" to say at home with your family during this time. Just as the schools are making sure the children continue to learn, we must be vigilint and continue to pray as best as we can during this time. 

Things are changing by the hour and we will follow the directives of our government to keep everyone safe. This will likely effect our Holy Week and Paschal services and we should be prepared for that eventuality. 

For our parishioners, PLEASE continue to send in your pledges and donaitons. It is vital so we can continue to pay the bills of the church and keep it running during this time. We need your continued support.

Finally, in the event any of you need Confession and Holy Communion during this difficult time, please contact me to make arrangements. 

Letter from Metropolitan Joseph-March 17

May God be with us all!

Thank you to our co-chairs, Norma Khoury and Elaine Khoury and all who helped plan and participated in our “Weekend of Celebrations” last weekend. There were many hours of preparation to get the Cathedral ready and to plan the events of the weekend. Without the entire effort of all those who labored and sacrificed, it would never have happened. Even until the day people arrived, the final touches were being completed. 

It was a beautiful weekend and all of our hierarchs and out of town guests, including our special guest, His Eminence Metropolitan HILARION of the Russian Orthodox Church, expressed their thanks to our parish for a wonderful weekend. 

You can see all the photos from the weekend via this link (Thank you to Khourieh Destinie Winn and Sub-deacon Andre Christoforides for taking these photos.
