Our services will remain the same until we receive further directions from the Archdiocese and the county: we are allowed up to 12 people in church for each Mass (including altar servers and chanters). We will continue to offer an additional Mass on Wednesdays evenings at 7PM and Vespers on Saturdays at 6PM. Confessions may be made before or after any of these services. Communion from the reserved Sacrament can be made available by appointment. We also have permission for people to participate by live-stream in their cars and come to the chancel door to receive Communion (please notify Fr. Nicholas in advance if you wish to do this). Live-streaming of the Sunday services will continue at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVbGF8tgQYoPXp3GeIQqIGg/.

On Pentecost, we rejoiced in welcoming Svetlana Osadchlk into the holy Orthodox Church and the parish family of St. Gregory’s. Svetlana has taken as her patron saint St. Photini.
