Special Services
The Mystery of Healing (Holy Unction) is offered on Holy Wednesday and periodically throughout the year, as necessary. Other special services, such as moliebens, akathists, and panikhidas are available by special request.
Holy Mysteries of Confession, Baptism/Chrismation, and Matrimony
Minimally, regular communicants are expected to make a confession during every fast season throughout the year or when their consciences are troubled by serious sin. Group General Confession is also offered periodically. Baptisms require the regular attendance of the parents and a special preparatory meeting with the priest. Matrimony must be scheduled at least six-months prior to the wedding, as well as a series of at least six preparatory sessions with the priest. Fr. Stephen is trained as a facilitator in the PREPARE/ENRICH instrument, which couples will be required to complete as part of the pre-marriage preparation.
Please check weekly bulletin for any schedule changes.
