On Sunday, October 13th., 2024 at 4:00 PM, our parish will be blessed by a visit from St. Tikhon's Monastery with the Healing Icon of St. Anna!

After the monk enters the Church, we will hold a Moleben service to ask for her intercession and there will be an anoiting with holy oil when it is completed. Veneration of the Icon can take place at that time. Some priests may be available for Confession.

Refreshments will be available in the hall downstairs after the service for fellowship.

All welcome!

Father Terence Baz, parish priest

Dear Parishioners,

We are writing to you at this time because we know you are the resources for our 'annual rummage sales' and we greatly appreciate your help.

We are asking that you 'hold-off'  bringing  your donated items for this fund raiser to the Church Hall,  until further notice.  Each day is evolving 

with news about the virus so therefore, we may need to change plans. 

Our sincerest apologies for any inconvenience this may cause you.   

Thank you for understanding and for your patience during this time.   

Our prayers for your well being.
