May our dear friend, Dan, rest with our loving, merciful and compassionate Lord!

Memory Eternal, Our Dear Friend Dan Christopulos

With faith in God’s mercy and in the everlasting life to come, on May 30, 2026 our dear friend and colleague, former Orthodox Christian Mission Center Development Director Dan Christopulos, fell asleep in the Lord. He dedicated his life to serving the Church, sharing our faith across the world, and loving others in the name of Christ. Surrounded by his family, he passed peacefully at home.

Dan not only served as a priest; he was also OCMC’s first missionary, a country representative for International Orthodox Christian Charities, and a police chaplain. In all these positions of service, he impacted the lives of thousands of people, offering grace and mercy to those in need as he shared the profound hope of Christ’s Resurrection. His unfailing sense of humor and kindness made it easy to connect with him and brought great warmth to people in the farthest corners of the earth.

Our hearts are with Dan’s wife Patty, and their children and grandchildren: Jordan, Matthew, and Greysen; Zoe, Taylor, Evy, and Easton; Valerie, Kevin, Juliana, Connor, and Tommy; David, Kris, Ava, and Kate, and the entire family that he and Patty brought together.

We will miss Dan greatly, but we take comfort in the Resurrection, knowing he is embraced by our loving Lord. We thank Dan for all he has done for the Church and for Orthodox Christians around the world.

Memory eternal, dear brother.

Holy Pentecost: Greek Orthodox Divine Liturgy of Saint John Chrysostom, w/CC May 31, 2026 @ 9:45 AM EDT

https://youtube.com/live/D6JhytBmd8s

On this glorious feast of Holy Pentecost, we celebrate the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the Apostles and the Church's foundational birthday. Fifty days after the Resurrection, the promised Comforter came down in the form of tongues of fire, empowering the disciples to preach the Gospel in every tongue and gathering a divided humanity into the unity of the Body of Christ. This sacred day marks the fulfillment of Christ’s earthly mission and the ongoing presence of God within the world, transforming ordinary human lives into living temples of divine grace and spiritual renewal.

The hymns and prayers of this Divine Liturgy, immediately followed by the moving Vespers of the Genuflection (Kneeling Prayers), invite us to open our hearts to the gifts of the Holy Spirit. As we kneel for the first time since Pascha, we pray for the grace, illumination, and strength needed to live out our Christian calling in the modern world. We invite you to join our parish family on this great feast day as we renew our baptismal commitment and celebrate the boundless love of God, who continuously pours out His Spirit upon the Church.

Readings:
Epistle Reading: Acts of the Apostles 2:1-11
Gospel Reading: John 7:37-52; 8:12

Today, we commemorate:
Holy Pentecost
Hermas the Apostle of the 70
Eustathios, Patriarch of Constantinople
Eusebius and Haralambos the Monk-martyrs

2026-05-30 LIVE: Divine Liturgy @ Saint Mark Greek Orthodox Church: Saturday of Souls @ 9:00 AM EDT

https://youtube.com/live/GD9onw6tbi4

On this solemn Saturday of Souls, the Church gathers in deep prayer and love to commemorate all those who have fallen asleep in the hope of resurrection and eternal life. Set on the eve of Pentecost, this special day of remembrance underscores the universal reach of Christ’s saving ministry, which extends to both the living and the departed. Through the offering of the Divine Liturgy and the Kollyva (blessed wheat), we express our enduring bonds of Christian love that transcend the boundaries of death, entrusting our departed family members, friends, and all orthodox ancestors into the merciful hands of God.

The hymns and prayers of this service emphasize the hope and consolation found in the Resurrection, reminding us that in Christ, no one is forgotten. By praying for the forgiveness of sins and the peaceful rest of the departed "in a place of light, a place of green pasture, a place of refreshment," we also confront our own mortality and reflect on the true purpose of our earthly journey. We invite you to join our parish family for this touching liturgy as we offer our collective prayers for our loved ones and anticipate the coming outpouring of the Holy Spirit.

Readings:
Epistle Reading: Acts of the Apostles 28:1-31
Gospel Reading: John 21:15-25

Today, we commemorate:
Saturday of Souls (Before Pentecost)
Isaac, Founder of the Dalmatian Monastery at Constantinople
Emmelia, Mother of Saint Basil the Great
Romanus the Martyr

Holy Fathers of the First Ecumenical Council: Greek Orthodox Divine Liturgy, w/CC May 24, 2026 @ 9:45 AM EDT

https://youtube.com/live/4fY1oJFMkTY

On this seventh Sunday of Pascha, we commemorate the Holy Fathers of the First Ecumenical Council, which convened in Nicaea in the year 325. This gathering of holy bishops and confessors was convened to defend the true faith against the false teachings of Arius, affirming that Jesus Christ is truly the Son of God, begotten, not made, and consubstantial with the Father. By formulating the foundational truths of the Creed, these holy fathers preserved the integrity of the Gospel message, ensuring that generations of faithful would continue to worship the true God in spirit and in truth.

The hymns of this Divine Liturgy celebrate the wisdom and steadfastness of these spiritual shepherds, who acted as guardians of the Apostolic tradition. Their legacy reminds us that unity and doctrinal truth are essential to the life of the Church, serving as an anchor for our souls amidst the changing tides of the world. We invite you to join our parish family as we honor their memory, reaffirm our own commitment to the Orthodox faith, and seek the grace to live according to the truth they so courageously defended.

Readings:
Epistle Reading: Acts of the Apostles 20:16-18, 28-36
Gospel Reading: John 17:1-13

Today, we commemorate:
Fathers of the 1st Council
Sunday of the Holy Fathers of the First Ecumenical Council
Symeon the Stylite of the Wonderful Mountain

Holy Ascension: Greek Orthodox Divine Liturgy of Saint John Chrysostom, w/CC May 21, 2026 @ 9:00 AM EDT

https://youtube.com/live/iZd-4U10KfI

On this glorious feast of the Holy Ascension, we celebrate the completion of Christ’s earthly ministry and His triumphant return to the right hand of the Father. Forty days after His Resurrection, the Lord led His disciples to the Mount of Olives and, while blessing them, ascended into heaven in their sight. By taking our human nature up into the heavenly realm, Christ opened the way for humanity to enter into eternal communion with God, ensuring that where He is, we also may be. This feast marks both a fulfillment and a promise, as the ascending Lord reassures His followers that He remains with them always, even to the end of the age.

The hymns and prayers of this Divine Liturgy capture the bittersweet joy of the disciples, who watched their Master ascend while anticipating the promised gift of the Holy Spirit. As we look upward in hope, we are reminded that our true citizenship is in heaven and that our daily lives are to be directed toward the kingdom of God. We invite you to join our parish family as we celebrate the Lord’s exaltation and pray for the spiritual strength to be faithful witnesses of His love, truth, and resurrection in the world today.

Readings:
Epistle Reading: Acts of the Apostles 26:1 and 12-20

A reMARKable day at Saint Mark! It began with Sophia Zmed offering her winning and truly moving Metropolis Oratorical Festival speech; honoring our Sunday Church School graduates; and distributing almost $50,000 in scholarships. We wish these young men and women all of God’s blessings. We are so proud of them. Ministry and education helps keep young people connected to the Faith.
