Events & Notes

Fast-Free week: As we begin the time of preparation before Great Lent, the week of the Publican and the PHarisse is a fast-free week. It reminds us to avoid taking pride in our fasting, like the Pharisee.

Priest office hours return this week, but on a different day and time. Office Hours will now be Wednesdays from 2:30-4:00 PM.

House Blessing: Sign up at church if you would like your house blessed before the start of Great Lent. 

Catechism classes will begin soon. The plan is to have in-person classes on Saturdays from 3:30-4:30 PM, before Vespers. 

Pledge Forms for 2026: Please return your completed Pledge Card to the parish treasurer, Dan Bacon, as soon as possible. Currently, only about half of the pledge cards have been returned. Please see the bulletin for a summary of the weekly budget.

The Sacrament of Confession takes place on Saturdays after Great Vespers. For other times during the week, contact Fr. Kevin.

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.
