🌿 Beginning of the Liturgical Year

Today, September 1, we begin a new liturgical year in the Eastern Christian tradition.

Unlike the civil calendar, the Church year begins on September 1 and continues through August 31. It invites us to journey once again through the great feasts and seasons of the Church, contemplating the mystery of Christ and growing in faith throughout the year.

As we begin this new cycle, may we open our hearts to God’s grace and entrust the year ahead to Him. 🙏

📖 “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not rely on your own understanding.” — Proverbs 3:5

May this new liturgical year be a time of renewed faith, prayer, and hope for all. 🌿

🌿 Початок нового літургійного року

Сьогодні, 1 вересня, у східнохристиянській традиції розпочинається новий літургійний рік.

На відміну від цивільного календаря, церковний рік починається 1 вересня і триває до 31 серпня. Він запрошує нас знову пройти шляхом великих свят і періодів церковного року, споглядаючи таїнство Христа та зростаючи у вірі.

Розпочинаючи цей новий цикл, відкриймо наші серця на Божу благодать і довірмо Господеві рік, що попереду. 🙏

📖 «Звірся на Господа всім твоїм серцем, не покладайсь на власний розум». — Прип. 3:5

Нехай новий літургійний рік стане для всіх часом оновлення у вірі, молитві та надії. 🌿

The schedule for the Cross of Gratitude

08/30/2026

🚨🚨🚨 We need you help🚨🚨🚨
Tonight, we received a last-minute offer that we find to be a blessing, but unfortunately, we have very little time to find help. The Big (800-pound) Cross of Gratitude is coming to our parish again - tomorrow, Sunday, August 30th. The Cross is expected to arrive from Boston around 9 PM. We will update this post as we get more information. We need approximately 10 strong individuals to assist in carrying the Cross inside. If you or anyone you know who can help us, we would be deeply grateful. God bless!

The Dormition of Our Most Holy Lady, the Mother of God and Ever-Virgin Mary.

The Gospel reading: https://youtube.com/shorts/jaSJXlIKldw?si=8cAlyzsUKt0r6uWW

The holy apostles were taken up from every corner of the world* and carried upon clouds by the command of God.* They gathered around your pure body, O Source of Life,* and kissed it with reverence.* As for the most sublime powers of heaven, * they came with their own leader* to es**rt and to pay their last respects to the most honourable body* that had contained Life itself.* Filled with awe, they marched together with the apostles in silent majesty,* professing to the princes of heaven in a hushed voice:* Lift up your gates and receive, with becoming majesty,* the Mother of the Light that never fades,* because, through her, salvation was made possible for mankind.* She is the One upon whom no one may gaze,* and to whom no one is able to render sufficient glory;* for the special honour that made her sublime is beyond understanding.* Therefore, O Most Pure Mother of God,* forever alive with your Son, the Source of Life,* do not cease to intercede with Him* that He may guard and save Your people from every trouble;* for you are our intercessor.* To you we sing a hymn of glory* with loud and joyful voice, now and forever.
