We will celebrate three major feast days during the month of September. The Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, September 8, falls on Sunday this year as does the feast of St. Michael the Archangel (September 29). The Exaltation of the Holy Cross is on Saturday, September 14, and we will celebrate this feast with a 10am Mass (Matins at 9:30), followed by a pot-luck brunch.
The Antiochian House of Studies, the educational program offered by our Archdiocese to those who are seeking ordination (but unable to attend one of the Orthodox seminaries) and to those who simply wish to study our Orthodox faith more deeply, will resume this month. Fr. Nicholas co-teaches Liturgics and Church History for Western Rite students and Dr. Monica Burnett teaches the Latin Fathers. O teach me true understanding and knowledge; for I have believed thy commandments. [Ps. 119:66]
