During this time of pandemic, we are making every effort to live-stream our services of Stations of the Cross and Litany in time of Peril on Fridays along with Sunday Matins and Mass.
In consultation with bishops of other jurisdictions and health officials, Metropolitan JOSEPH has issued new directives for Holy Week. We are to limit church attendance for services to clergy, servers, and singers numbering no more than five in an effort to limit contact between people. Many of the ceremonies which are part of the Holy Week services (such as some processions, the foot washing, the Altar of Repose and the Presanctified Liturgy) will not be included this year.
With the directives from the archdiocese in mind, the following services will be offered for Holy Week and available to all through the Youtube livestream. On Saturday, 4/11, we will serve Vespers for Palm Sunday at 6pm. On Palm Sunday, 4/12, we will offer Matins at 9am and Sung Mass following, around 9:30. On Holy Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday evenings, 4/13-15, we will serve Vespers only at 7pm. On Maundy Thursday, 4/16, Vespers will be at 7pm and the Liturgy will follow around 7:30. On Good Friday, 4/17, the Liturgy will be at Noon. On Holy Saturday, 4/18, the Paschal Vigil will begin at 10pm.
