Please try to clear your schedule so you can attend all or at least as many of these Holy Week Services as you can. Holy Week is the holiest week of the Church Year and Holy Pascha, Easter Sunday, is the Feast of Feasts. Do be sure to invite family and friends to join us for Holy Week and to celebrate the glorious Resurrection of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. The Orthodox Church welcomes everyone. We are a faithful, friendly and vibrant parish, and we have a place for you!
