Great Vespers will be held at 6:00 PM, not 5:00 PM because Sub-deacon Christopher will not be available until then. Graes & fruit will be blessed at the end of the service. The service will be livestreamed.
There will be no one to do the responses on the feast itself, Thursday, August 6th. If you wish to attend Divine Liturgy, please go to St. John's Church in Passaic.

Father will hold both Vespers and Divine Liturgy for the feast of the Dormition (Assumption) of the Theotokos tomorrow evening and Saturday morning. The Lytia will not be sung for Vespers in order to minimize contact with the congregation because of Covid-19.

Flowers will be blessed on Saturday morning after the Prayer at the Ambo at the end of Divine Liturgy. Please put the flowers in separate containers in order to avoid contant with anyone else.

Dearly Beloved Parishioners:
Christ is in our midst!
As I have mentioned, tomorrow's Divine Liturgy will be said behind locked doors. It will not be said at the regular time. Please do not come to Church tomorrow.
I plan to set up a streaming service for the following Sunday, March 29th., to enable you to watch the service online. Given the terrible unfolding of this virus, I may have to restrict who comes to the Church for that Sunday as well. I will let you know.
Please know that I will be praying for you tomorrow.
Yours, in Christ,
Archpriest, Terence Baz
