DUES REMINDER: We will close our dues payment books for 2023 on Sunday, December 31. Please make all payments by then. Otherwise, any amounts received after the 31st will be credited for 2024.
CONFESSION: Father Andrii can hear confessions after Saturday services or before Divine Liturgy on Sunday. Please arrive early on Sunday morning for Confession so this won’t interfere with the start of the Divine Liturgy. PLEASE NOTE: Parishioners who receive Communion regularly (every Sunday) have to come to Confession not less than four times a year! (Great Lent, Fast of the Apostles, Dormition Fast, and Nativity Fast). Please prepare yourself for the sacred reception of Christ at the Nativity Liturgy. Those who receive Communion should fast (no food or drink) from midnight up to the point of receiving Communion. The night before, it is customary to read special prayers before Holy Communion (or come and pray with us at 8 AM on Sunday). If someone has a medical condition and has to take medication in the morning, they can be released from fasting with a blessing from the priest. Children under the age of 7 are also released from fasting; however, their parents are encouraged to let them try.
ЧЛЕНСЬКІ ВНЕСКИ: Переконайтесь чи ви сплатили ваші внески за 2023 рік, і якщо ні, то зробіть це до 31 грудня. Облікові книги за 2023 рік будуть закриватися в неділю 31го грудня, і всі внески зроблені після цього дня будуть зараховуватись вже на 2024 рік.
LIVE STREAMING of the services in our church comes with a price tag of $700 for 2024. As the new year approaches, we are looking for sponsors to pay for the live streaming again. Please let Fr. Andrii know if you’d like to become a sponsor. Thank you!
