Your Lenten preparation for Pascha will be greatly aided by attending as many of these Lenten weekly services as possible. See our weekly and monthly schedule.
March is designated as Women’s Month
In our Archdiocese, March is set aside to honor the work and service of Antiochian women. Women will be more active in the church, will read the Epistle, will address those attending Liturgy and will take up a collection (on 1st and 2nd Sunday) for the Convent of St. Thekla at the Antiochian Village. We thank God for our All Saints Women’s Association called St. Thekla. They truly provide the “heart” to all that we do in our parish. Remember all women in our parish are considered members of St. Thekla.
