Upcoming Events & Notes

Orthodox Education Classes will be offered during the Nativity Fast. These are open to everyone: inquirers, catechumens, those new to the faith, and those long part of the faith. The first session will be on Tuesday, November 25th. Father Kevin will attempt to answer a foundation question: What is the Nativity Fast? Classes will be held on Zoom.

The Service Book for the Faithful containing Vespers, Matins, and the Divine Liturgies, has been revised and will be available December 1st. May have asked about these books. You can place your pre-orders at St. Tikhon's Monastery Press at https://stmpress.com.
