This upcoming Sunday, the first Sunday in Great Lent, is dedicated to the holy icons. It is called the Sunday of Orthodoxy and we do a beautiful procession around the church at the end of liturgy with all the Sunday School kids. We encourage you to bring your favorite icon from home to hold and if you don’t have one, the church will provide one to you. We stronggly encourage you to attend this week’s service and Sunday School as we want to get great lent off on the right foot! Looking forward to seeing you all on Sunday! 🙏🏼☦️
Please help support this wonderful HOPE initiative! ❤️🙏🏼

May this Lenten season be one in which our parish family grows not only in prayer, but in compassion — teaching our families that when we give with love, we reflect Christ to the world. 💚

February 22, 2026 - Forgiveness Sunday![]()
![]()
The Holy Fathers have appointed the commemoration of Adam’s exile from the Paradise of delight here, on the eve of the holy Forty-day Fast, demonstrating to us not by simple words, but by actual deeds, how beneficial fasting is for man, and how harmful and destructive are insatiety and the transgressing of the divine commandments. For the first commandment that God gave to man was that of fasting, which the first-fashioned received but did not keep; and not only did they not become gods, as they had imagined, but they lost even that blessed life which they had, and they fell into corruption and death, and transmitted these and innumerable other evils to all of mankind. The God-bearing Fathers set these things before us today, that by bringing to mind what we have fallen from, and what we have suffered because of the insatiety and disobedience of the first-fashioned, we might be diligent to return again to that ancient bliss and glory by means of fasting and obedience to all the divine commands. Taking occasion from today’s Gospel (Matt. 6:14-21) to begin the Fast unencumbered by enmity, we also ask forgiveness this day, first from God, then from one another and all creation.
