CHRIST IS RISEN! INDEED HE IS RISEN!

FEAST OF HOLY PENTECOST: On Sunday, June 20th, the
Holy Orthodox Church will celebrate the Great Feast of Holy
Pentecost. This is the day that we celebrate the coming of the
Holy Spirit and the full revelation of the Holy Trinity: Father,
Son, and Holy Spirit. The fullness of the Godhead is
manifested with the Spirit’s coming to man, and the Church’s
hymns celebrate the manifestation as the final act of God’s
self-disclosure and self-donation to the world of His creation.
For this reason, Pentecost Sunday is also called Trinity Day in
the Orthodox tradition. Pentecost ushers in a new era in which
we are called to pursue sainthood by acquiring the Holy Spirit.

SPECIAL THANKS FOR A BLESSED PASCHA: We thank
the Risen Lord for showering His Blessings upon the Parish
and faithful for a Great celebration of Pascha 2021. We are
thankful for all those who showed up to have their Baskets
Blessed, especially on Holy Saturday. We thank you for your
patience and for adhering to our Covid-19 regulations. We are
thankful to all who made a generous donation to our Parish for
Pascha. Without your continued support, we would definitely
be in trouble. We are Thankful for our Friends and
Benefactors who continue to answer our plea. All in All, this
season of Pascha was truly a memorable Pascha after having
the church last year minus the faithful. Thank You again, and
we will continue to pray as Father John does every day for a
prosperous, healthy, and long life for many more Blessed
Years!
