Our Annual Feast Day (Odpust)

This year, we will celebrate Our Annual Feast Day (Odpust) on Sunday, September 10, 2023, with a Divine Liturgy at 10 a.m. as usual (included with Mirovanije and Akathist to Mother of God).

There will be a luncheon in the hall following the liturgy. Please join us for the liturgy and purchase a ticket for the luncheon. Tickets are $25 per person and will be available for sale beginning August 20, 2023 (see Mariana Bujdos or Mary Snell).

We invite and encourage you to celebrate with us and enjoy prayerful time and each other’s company which is so essential and has been missing from our lives in the past couple of years.

We are looking forward to seeing you at the Odpust.

Rejoice in Hope

Thriving in a Spiritual Recession

Many have felt the pinch of the economic recession, deprived of God, losing hope, and succumbing to the bleakness of the age. Lent is the time given us by the Church to examine our relationship with God and seek renewal in the spiritual life. Our retreat is intended to prepare us for this holy season, to recalibrate our lives and revitalize our relationship with God.
