On July 19, our parish was blessed to celebrate the double-baptism of the children of God, Brook Ileana and Ondine Juliana. We congratulate their parents Stefan & Maya, their godparents Valentin & Cristina, and their grandparents Mark & Maria. Thank you to all who helped make this a beautiful day, and may God grant Ileana and Juliana many years!
Christ is Risen! Truly He is Risen!
We greet you warmly on this awesome and life-creating feast of Our Lord’s Pascha, His Resurrection. Thank you to all who journeyed through Lent, labored in spirit, confessed their sins, and as a community worked to make this celebration so beautiful and joyful for our community.
Christ is Risen! Truly He is Risen!
“Why is it that on a Feast Day the whole of nature mysteriously smiles? Why is it that then a heavenly gladness fills our hearts; a gladness far beyond that of earth and the very air in church and in the altar becomes luminous? It is the breath of Thy gracious love. It is the reflection of the glory of Mount Tabor. Then do heaven and earth sing Thy praise: Alleluia!”
–the Ninth Kontakion, from the Service of Thanksgiving “Glory to God for All Things”
(Thank you to Melanie who makes our parish grounds so beautiful!)

Christ is Risen! Truly He is Risen!
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
Christ Is Risen! Truly He is Risen!
On this Holy night, what other greeting is needed? What other greeting is exchanged? In the stillness and quiet of Christ’s Resurrection, the whole world bursts into song with rejoicing and now, the hope – that we are not reduced to sorrow and death – is realized! Indeed a new creation is upon us and a Holy destiny awaits us, because of this blessed night. We are filled with God’s love and forgiveness, and through His divine condescension we are brought ever closer to Him in His love.
With love and affection,
