The month of June is a month of feasts. We begin with Trinity Sunday on June 3, when we celebrate the great mystery of one God in three Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. On this one Sunday of the year, we sing the Quicunque vult, or Athanasian Creed, at Matins. The Feast of Corpus Christi, celebrating the gift of the Eucharist, will be observed on the Sunday within the Octave, June 10. The Nativity of St. John the Baptist, the Forerunner of Christ, falls on Sunday, June 24.
Please remember Fr. Raphael and Kh. Catherine in your prayers as they travel in the Philippines during this month, visiting family and Orthodox churches.
The joint Parish Life Conference for the Diocese of the Mid-Atlantic and the Diocese of New York and Washington will be held June 27-July 1 at Antiochian Village. Western Rite Vespers is scheduled for Friday evening, June 29. Please let Fr. Nicholas know if you are able to attend this gathering of our church family.
