Today we celebrate the Feast of the Transfiguration of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! Xronia Polla! 🙏

Apolytikion
You were transfigured on the Mount, Christ God revealing Your glory to Your disciples, insofar as they could comprehend. Illuminate us sinners also with Your everlasting light, through the intercessions of the Theotokos. Giver of light, glory to You.

Ἀπολυτίκιον
Μετεμορθώθης εν τώ όρει Χριστέ ο Θεός, δείξας τοίς Μαθηταίς σου τήν δόξαν σου, καθώς ήδυναντο, Λάμψον καί ημίν τοίς αμαρτωλοίς, τό φώς σου τό αϊδιον, πρεσβείαις τής Θεοτόκου, φωτοδότα δόξα σοι.

Blessed fast of the Dormition of our Most Holy Lady the Theotokos and Ever Virgin Mary!

For our Paraklesis service schedule, please refer to our website’s calendar: https://www.annunciation-nyc.org

Today, we joyfully embark upon the Fast for the Dormition of the Theotokos. These days of the Paraklesis, when we supplicate her to intercede for our lives, our families, our communities, and our world is a time of spiritual intensity. Thus we fast, in order to soften our hearts and to prepare for the “Little Pascha” of her passing into eternal life. She leaves this world where her motherhood is limited, to reign from Heaven as the Mother of us all. By her holy intercessions, may we find our hope restored, our faith strengthened, and our love deepened.

With profound joy, I extend my heartfelt congratulations to my beloved brother in Christ, His Eminence Archbishop-elect Apostolos of Canada, upon his elevation by the Great Church of Christ to shepherd the Sacred Archdiocese of Canada.

As he begins this new chapter of his archpastoral ministry, I pray that His Eminence serves with unwavering devotion, pastoral sensitivity, compassionate wisdom, and steadfast fidelity to our Mother Church, the Ecumenical Patriarchate. May he strengthen the clergy and faithful entrusted to his care, respond with love and discernment to the needs of the Greek Orthodox community throughout Canada, and advance the sacred mission of the Church with humility and resolve.

I pray that our Lord will grant him abundant strength, wisdom, and every heavenly blessing as he undertakes this sacred responsibility. May his archpastoral ministry be fruitful and enduring, to the glory of God, the advancement of the Church, and the service of the Ecumenical Throne.

Ἄξιος!

After a two days of staff orientation, one truth remains: this summer, parents will entrust us with what they love most—their children. Our prayer is that when this summer is over may every parent say ‘My child was safe’ ……. every camper say, ‘I belonged’…… and God say, ‘Well done.’
