Events Calendar
- The Dormition Fast continues for a few more days. It concludes on the eve of Tuesday, August 14. Use these final days to exercise discipline on your choices of food and actions. Pray more and give alms to the poor. The traditional rule is a strict abstinence with mitigations for Saturday & Sunday and the feast of the Transfiguration. The Ruthenian Metropolia has identified this period as a penitential season (Canon 880, § 2). This fast may be observed voluntarily.
- This Wednesday, August 15, we commemorate the Dormition of the Theotokos. It is a holy day of obligation. Bishop John Kudrick is celebrating the Divine Liturgy Wednesday evening at 6 p.m. On the feast day we bless flowers (because sweet-smelling flowers were discovered in her tomb after her body was taken into heaven). Over time, medicinal seeds and herbs were also blessed in commemoration of the many healings and blessings bestowed upon the pilgrims at Mary’s tomb.
- The second Ancient Healing Service in August is scheduled for Wednesday the 22nd. More people continue to find us on the internet. It is the Holy Spirit guiding them to our website. Fr. Sid initiated this important ministry in our parish. It may have taken awhile but we’re starting to see the fruits of Fr Sid’s and the healing team members’ persistence. Praise God!
Prayer List
Please remember in your daily prayers Fr. Sid who is not able to celebrate Divine Liturgy today. He is currently residing at Hooverwood Indpls Jewish Home. Also remember those in the parish, our prayer list and other friends who are in need. May God wrap His loving and healing arms around all and shed His brilliant light on the path He desires for us. May we graciously follow that path with unwavering faith.
Congratulations
Cody Romero-Stanton is heading out for Army training on Monday. Come to St. Mary’s Hall following today’s Service to say farewell and good luck to Cody. May God keep Cody safe and grant him many happy and blessed years!
