Dear parishioners,
On Friday we finished the Great Fast &now we have begun the very special Holy
Week. If you have not kept the fast well, now is your final chance for preparation
before the "Feast of all Feasts," the Holy Resurrection.
Good Friday is a day of fast and strict abstinence. Meat and dairy products are
forbidden, and we should limit the amount of food we consume. The fast continues
until just before Easter Divine Liturgy.
Clean your souls and bodies, share your talents and possessions with those in need
and be ready to come forward to greet our Lord - Resurrected Jesus.
On Saturday, April 4, at 10:00 AM we will have St. Basil Liturgy. No Divine
Liturgy at 5:00PM.
In the morning, during the Matins, the priest touches the
front doors and Holy Cross in the Church and sings “Christ is Risen” Easter Matins
are at 8:00 AM and Divine Liturgy at 9:00 AM. There will be No Divine Liturgy
at 10:00 on Easter Sunday. We should wear something new, a light color like a
Ukrainian shirt - no black or dark colors, should be worn on Easter Sunday. Many
Ukrainians in other parishes wear Ukrainian shirts to church on Easter.
I invite you to make Holy Week a time of spiritual renewal and joyfully celebrate the
resurrection of Christ together. Rev.Andriy Kasiyan
