ANNOUNCEMENTS
- World Day of Consecrated Life is February 2nd
In 1997, Pope St. John Paul II initiated a Day of Prayer for vocations of women and men to the consecrated life. In both the East and West, Catholics on the Feast of the Presentation of Our Lord into the Temple bless candles. Our Lord Jesus Christ is the Light of the World. We Christians also are called to be “lights” to the world, to others. Those in consecrated life are called in a special way to reflect the Light of Christ.
- Three Holy Hierarchs Holy Day on Tuesday
The three Holy Hierarchs are pillars of the church. Living in and around the 300s, Sts. Basil, Gregory and John Chrysostom were great theologians during their age. And not only were they highly acclaimed during their time, but we continue to read their words and be inspired by their lives today. While each of these great men have their own feast days, we celebrate them together on January 30th. There was Basil, who admired the saint’s ability to clearly communicate the mysteries of our faith. Gregory was the closest to achieving theosis. Finally, John Chrysostom, who wrote with such eloquence that we are still using his Divine Liturgy today. One night, a bishop named John Mauropous had a dream where the three holy hierarchs appeared. The three holy hierarchs explained that they are all equal before God. The saints requested that they would be celebrated together on a single feast day. And that is how we came to have the feast of the 3 Holy Hierarchs. Divine Liturgy will be held at 9:00am on Tuesday.
- Sorokousty Information being Collected
We are now collecting information for the Lenten Sorokousty (Remembrance of the Beloved Dead) services. If you would like the souls of your Beloved prayed for during Lent as is customary, please fill out the Sorokousty envelope found in your envelope box and drop it in the collection basket. Fr. Myron will read all names during Lenten services. Lent begins February 12th.
