OCF -- Orthodox Christian Fellowship at USF, is a group for college women and men desiring to experience the inner life, community, and worship of the deeply rooted historic Orthodox Christian Church. Students from all ethnic and religious backgrounds who desire to participate in an authentic, traditional, and vibrant Christian experience are welcome!

This is a pan-Orthodox effort; Our own Fr. Kirill Sokolov serves as the chaplain at the University of San Francisco. For more information, please reach out to him and he'll be happy to connect you with student leaders.

This week we are meeting in the Romero Room inside the offices of University Ministry (which is located at Toler Hall).  Welcome!

This evening we serve Vespers at 6:00 PM. Our "usual" Wednesday evening Vespers is a chance for us to gather and pray as Church and to refocus on Christ in the middle of the week.

In the Orthodox Church, the liturgical day begins in the evening with the setting of the sun. This practice follows the Biblical account of creation: “And there was evening and there was morning, one day” (Gen 1:5). Vespers leads us to the meditation of God’s word and His love for us. It prepares us for the sleep of the night and the dawn of the new day to come.

The services of Holy Trinity Cathedral, a parish of the Orthodox Church in America, are prayed in English. Our usual vesper service on Wednesday evenings is half an hour long. All are welcome!

All are welcome for this time to gather with Fr. Kirill to speak about the Orthodox Christian faith.

On this, the eve of the Lord's Day, we serve Vigil at 6:00 PM. We are open, and you are welcome!

In the Orthodox Church, the liturgical day begins in the evening with the setting of the sun. This practice follows the Biblical account of creation: “And there was evening and there was morning, one day” (Gen 1.5). On the eve of the Lord’s Day, we gather for “Vigil” — the solemn and meditative services of Vespers and Matins.

The service (mostly sung) takes us through creation, sin, and salvation in Christ. It leads us to the meditation of God’s word and the glorification of his love for men. It instructs us and allows us to praise God for the particular events or persons whose memory is celebrated and made present to us in the Church. It prepares us for the sleep of the night and the dawn of the new day to come. On the evening before the Divine Liturgy, it begins our movement into the most perfect communion with God in the sacramental mysteries.

The “climax” of the Vigil is the proclamation of the Resurrection of Christ in a reading from the Holy Gospels; all may be anointed with holy oil after this reading.

The services of Holy Trinity Cathedral, a parish of the Orthodox Church in America, are prayed in English. All are welcome!

On this day, Forgiveness Sunday, we celebrate the Divine Liturgy at 9:30 AM. The Gospel reading is Matthew 6:14-21. The services of Holy Trinity Cathedral, a parish of the Orthodox Church in America, are prayed in English. All are welcome!

God willing, we will also live-stream this service on Youtube for those physically unable to get to divine services this weekend: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCRcj3JAzlyrlHP5BYcJWWnQ

The Divine Liturgy is the common work of Orthodox Christians officially gathered to constitute the Church. It is the action of the Church assembled by God in order to be together in one community to worship, to pray, to sing, to hear God’s Word, to be instructed in God’s commandments, to offer itself with thanksgiving in Christ to God the Father, and to have the living experience of God’s eternal kingdom through communion with the same Christ Who is present in his people by the Holy Spirit.

We continue our fellowship after liturgy with coffee, refreshments, and often other events too, such as church school programs, seminars, and parish council. Our bookstore is open during this time, too!

On this, the evening of Forgiveness Sunday, we serve Vespers at 6 PM and mark the formal beginning of the Great Fast. We are open, and you are welcome!

At all of the lenten services, the Prayer of Saint Ephraim of Syria is read. It supplicates God for those virtues especially necessary to the Christian life.

O Lord and Master of my life: give me not the spirit of sloth, faint-heartedness, lust of power and idle talk.

Yea, O Lord and King, grant me to see my own transgressions and not to judge my brother, for blessed art Thou unto ages of ages. Amen.

On this day, the first day of the Great Fast, we celebrate Matins and First Hour at 7 AM.  We are open, and you are welcome!

Clean Monday is the beginning of the Lenten journey. It’s the reminder of our purpose to ask God to create in us clean hearts and renewed spirits, to restore us to His salvation, and to guide us through Lent and beyond.

The services of Holy Trinity Cathedral, a parish of the Orthodox Church in America, are prayed in English. All are welcome!

On this day, the first day of the Great Fast, we celebrate the 3rd, 6th, and 9th Hours according to the Lenten order at Noon.  The prophetic reading at the sixth hour is: Isaiah 1:1-20.

On this day, the first day of the Great Fast, we celebrate the evening service of Compline according to the Lenten order at 6 PM.  This service is marked by the reading of a portion of the Great Canon of St. Andrew of Crete.  We are open, and you are welcome!

The Great Canon of St Andrew, Bishop of Crete, is the most extensive canon in all of our services.There is no other sacred hymn which compares with this monumental work, which St Andrew wrote for his personal meditations.  Nothing else has its extensive typology and mystical explanations of the scripture, from both the Old and New Testaments.  One can almost consider this hymn to be a “survey of the Old and New Testament”. Its other distinguishing features are a spirit of mournful humility, hope in God, and complex and beautiful Trinitarian Doxologies and hymns to the Theotokos in each Ode.

The canon is a dialog between St. Andrew and his soul. The ongoing theme is an urgent exhortation to change one’s life. St Andrew always  mentions his own sinfulness placed in juxtaposition to God’s mercy, and uses literally hundreds of references to good and bad examples from the OT and NT to “convince himself” to repent.

A canon is an ancient liturgical hymn, with a very strict format. It consists of a variable number of parts, each called an “ode”. Most common canons have eight Odes, numbered from one to nine, with Ode 2 being omitted. The most penitential canons have all nine odes. Some canons have only three Odes, such as many of the canons in the “Triodion” (which means “Three Odes”).

In any case, all Odes have the same basic format.  An “Irmos” begins each Ode. This is generally sung, and each Irmos has a reference to one of the nine biblical canticles, which are selections from the Old and New Testament, which can be found in an appendix in any complete liturgical Psalter (book of Psalms, arranged for reading in the services). A variable number of “troparia” follow, which are short hymns about the subject of the canon. These are usually chanted, and not sung. After each troparion a “refrain” is chanted. At the end of each Ode, another hymn, called the “Katavasia”, either  the Irmos previously sung, or one like it is sung.

The troparia of the Great Canon in all its twelve Odes are usually chanted by the priest in the center of the church, with the choir singing the Irmos and Katavasia. There are varying traditions about bows and prostrations. Some prostrate and some make the sign of the cross and bow three times after the Irmos and each troparion.

On this day, the second day of the Great Fast, we celebrate Matins and First Hour at 7 AM.  We are open, and you are welcome!

On certain dates in the Great Fast, usually Wednesdays and Fridays, Holy Communion — prepared on the previous Sunday — is brought forth and distributed according to a solemn order known as the Divine Liturgy of the Presanctified Gifts.

Following our serving of this Liturgy, we will break the fast together with a light Lenten potluck supper.

On this day, the commemoration of St. Theodore the Recruit & the Miracle of the Boiled Wheat, we celebrate the Divine Liturgy at 9:30 AM.

Saturday, even during the non-lenten season, is the Church’s day for remembering the dead. This is so because Saturday, the Sabbath Day, stands as the day which God blessed for life in this world. Because of sin, however, this day now symbolizes all of earthly life as naturally fulfilled in death. Even Christ the Lord lay dead on the Sabbath Day, “resting from all of his works” and “trampling down death by death.” Thus, in the New Testament Church of Christ, Saturday becomes the proper day for remembering the dead and for offering prayers for their eternal salvation.

I hope you can make it to our March 11th Sonshine Kids event! We'll be participating in and teaching the children about two important Lenten traditions: praying for the departed at a Soul Saturday Liturgy and almsgiving. Here are the details!

9am Soul Saturday Liturgy & Litya at Nativity of the Holy Virgin Orthodox Church in Menlo Park. Please bring the names of any Orthodox departed you would like to commemorate at the Litya, which will immediately follow Liturgy.

Following the Litya, our friends at Holy Virgin will be graciously providing everyone lunch (sandwiches, drinks, & fruit)! Please bring anything else you would like or need (including gluten-free items if you need to). The children will also have a chance to play on their playground outside.

Then, the children will be invited back inside to participate in our almsgiving project. Fr. Andrew Smith will first talk with the children about almsgiving, then we will assemble care bags for the residents at Goodness Village, a tiny home community for those transitioning out of chronic homelessness. Please sign-up here to purchase and bring items the non-profit has told us the residents especially need: high-quality toiletries and cleaning supplies. The children will also make cards to go inside each bag. I would like to thank Irene Guajardo for suggesting this project and helping to organize it!

Please RSVP by March 6th so we can plan lunch and the project accordingly, and please let me know if you have any questions.

Sonshine Kids brings together Orthodox Christian families in the Bay Area for fellowship.

Yours in Christ,

It prepares us for the sleep of the night and the dawn of the new day to come. On certain dates in the Great Fast, usually Wednesdays and Fridays, Holy Communion — prepared on the previous Sunday — is brought forth and distributed according to a solemn order known as the Divine Liturgy of the Presanctified Gifts.

Following our serving of this Liturgy, we will break the fast together with a light Lenten potluck supper.

The service (mostly sung) takes us through creation, sin, and salvation in Christ. It leads us to the meditation of God’s word and the glorification of his love for men. It instructs us and allows us to praise God for the particular events or persons whose memory is celebrated and made present to us in the Church. It prepares us for the sleep of the night and the dawn of the new day to come. On the evening before the Divine Liturgy, it begins our movement into the most perfect communion with God in the sacramental mysteries.

The “climax” of the Vigil is the proclamation of the Resurrection of Christ in a reading from the Holy Gospels; all may be anointed with holy oil after this reading.

The Divine Liturgy is the common work of Orthodox Christians officially gathered to constitute the Church. It is the action of the Church assembled by God in order to be together in one community to worship, to pray, to sing, to hear God’s Word, to be instructed in God’s commandments, to offer itself with thanksgiving in Christ to God the Father, and to have the living experience of God’s eternal kingdom through communion with the same Christ Who is present in his people by the Holy Spirit.

We continue our fellowship after liturgy with coffee, refreshments, and often other events too, such as church school programs, seminars, and parish council. Our bookstore is open during this time, too!

Holy Equals-to-the-Apostles Constantine and his mother, Helen (Elena) - 327
Meeting of the Vladimir Icon of the Most Holy Theotokos

Christ is risen! On this day, the Leavetaking of Pascha, we celebrate the Divine Liturgy at 9:30 am. The Gospel reading is John 12:36-47.

On Wednesday of the sixth week of Pascha, we celebrate the Leavetaking of the Feast. While most Feasts have their Leavetaking on the eighth day, Pascha, the Feast of Feasts, has its Leavetaking on the thirty-ninth day. The fortieth day is the Feast of the Lord’s Ascension, which marks the end of the Lord’s physical presence on earth. He does not abandon us, however. He has promised to be with us always, even until the end of the age (MT 20:28). As we sing in the Kontakion for Ascension, “Thou didst ascend in glory, O Christ our God, not being parted from those who love Thee, but remaining with them and crying: I am with you and no one will be against you.” There is a similar thought expressed in the Troparion for the Dormition: “In falling asleep, you did not forsake the world, O Theotokos.”

The services today are celebrated just as on the day of Pascha itself. The daily readings from Holy Scripture, of course, will differ. After the Dismissal at Liturgy, the paschal hymns are no longer sung. The prayer “O Heavenly King” is not said or sung until Pentecost. The Winding Sheet (Plaschanitsa) is taken from the altar and put in its proper place. Even though today is a Wednesday, fish, wine, and oil are permitted.

This evening we serve Vespers at 6:00 PM. Our "usual" Wednesday evening Vespers is a chance for us to gather and pray as Church and to refocus on Christ in the middle of the week.

In the Orthodox Church, the liturgical day begins in the evening with the setting of the sun. This practice follows the Biblical account of creation: “And there was evening and there was morning, one day” (Gen 1:5). Vespers leads us to the meditation of God’s word and His love for us. It prepares us for the sleep of the night and the dawn of the new day to come.

On this day, the great feast of the Ascension of Our Lord, we celebrate the Divine Liturgy at 9:30 am. The Gospel reading is Luke 24:36-53.

The Lord Himself speaks of his glorious Ascension: "I ascend unto My Father and your Father, and to My God, and Your God" (John 20:17). And with Christ, man’s nature ascends also.  “We who seemed unworthy of the earth, are now raised to heaven,” says Saint John Chrysostom. “We who were unworthy of earthly dominion have been raised to the Kingdom on high, have ascended higher than heaven, have came to occupy the King’s throne, and the same nature from which the angels guarded Paradise, stopped not until it ascended to the throne of the Lord.” By His Ascension the Lord not only opened to man the entrance to heaven, not only appeared before the face of God on our behalf and for our sake, but likewise “transferred man” to the high places. “He honored them He loved by putting them close to the Father.” God quickened and raised us together with Christ, as Saint Paul says, “and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus” (Ephes. 2:6). Heaven received the inhabitants of the earth. “The First fruits of them that slept” sits now on high, and in Him all creation is summed up and bound together. “The earth rejoices in mystery, and the heavens are filled with joy.”

The Memorial Saturday on the eve of Pentecost — Trinity Sunday — is a special day of commemoration for all of our departed ancestors.

On the eve of "the last day, that great day of the feast" (John 7:37) — Pentecost — we celebrate the festal vigil at 6:00 pm. Clergy and faithful from around the Bay Area will come together with their Archbishop "with one accord in one place" (Acts 2:1) to celebrate what must happen and does happen to us in the Church today. We all have died and risen with the Messiah-King, and we all have received his Most Holy Spirit. We are the “temples of the Holy Spirit.” God’s Spirit dwells in us (Rom 8; 1 Cor 2–3, 12; 2 Cor 3; Gal 5; Eph 2–3). We, by our own membership in the Church, have received “the seal of the gift of the Holy Spirit” in the sacrament of chrismation. Pentecost has happened to us and we invoke the "Comforter, the Spirit of Truth" to “come and abide in us.”

The services of Holy Trinity Cathedral, a parish of the Orthodox Church in America, are prayed in English. All are welcome!

On this day, the divine services begin at 9:30 AM.  We celebrate the Cathedral's patronal feast day of PENTECOST!  The Holy Spirit that Christ had promised to his disciples came on the day of Pentecost (Jn 14.26, 15.26; Lk 24.49; Acts 1.5). The apostles received “the power from on high,” and they began to preach and bear witness to Jesus as the risen Christ, the King and the Lord. This moment has traditionally been called the birthday of the Church.

We are open, and you are welcome!

The Divine Liturgy of Pentecost recalls our baptism into Christ with the verse from Galatians again replacing the Thrice-Holy Hymn. Special verses from the psalms also replace the usual antiphonal psalms of the liturgy. The epistle and gospel readings tell of the Spirit’s coming to men. The kontakion sings of the reversal of Babel as God unites the nations into the unity of his Spirit. The troparion proclaims the gathering of the whole universe into God’s net through the work of the inspired apostles. The hymns “O Heavenly King” and “We have seen the True Light” are sung for the first time since Easter, calling the Holy Spirit to “come and abide in us,” and proclaiming that “we have received the heavenly Spirit.” The church building is decorated with flowers and the green leaves of the summer to show that God’s divine Breath comes to renew all creation as the “life-creating Spirit.” In Hebrew the word for Spirit, breath and wind is the same word, ruah.

The Great Vespers of Pentecost evening (which we sing right after the Liturgy) features three long prayers at which the faithful kneel for the first time since Easter. The Monday after Pentecost is the feast of the Holy Spirit in the Orthodox Church, and the Sunday after Pentecost is the feast of All Saints. This is the logical liturgical sequence since the coming of the Holy Spirit is fulfilled in men by their becoming saints, and this is the very purpose of the creation and salvation of the world. “Thus says the Lord: Consecrate yourselves therefore, and be holy, for I your God am holy” (Lev 11.44–45, 1 Pet 1.15–16).

Our celebration will culminate in a festal procession and meal.

The Divine Liturgy is the common work of Orthodox Christians officially gathered to constitute the Church. It is the action of the Church assembled by God in order to be together in one community to worship, to pray, to sing, to hear God’s Word, to be instructed in God’s commandments, to offer itself with thanksgiving in Christ to God the Father, and to have the living experience of God’s eternal kingdom through communion with the same Christ Who is present in his people by the Holy Spirit.

We continue our fellowship after liturgy with coffee, refreshments, and often other events too, such as church school programs, seminars, and parish council. Our bookstore is open during this time, too!

Summer Patronal Feast Day

This evening we serve Vespers at 6:00 PM. Our "usual" Wednesday evening Vespers is a chance for us to gather and pray as Church and to refocus on Christ in the middle of the week.

In the Orthodox Church, the liturgical day begins in the evening with the setting of the sun. This practice follows the Biblical account of creation: “And there was evening and there was morning, one day” (Gen 1:5). Vespers leads us to the meditation of God’s word and His love for us. It prepares us for the sleep of the night and the dawn of the new day to come.

On this, the eve of the Lord's Day, we serve Vigil at 6:00 PM. We are open, and you are welcome!

In the Orthodox Church, the liturgical day begins in the evening with the setting of the sun. This practice follows the Biblical account of creation: “And there was evening and there was morning, one day” (Gen 1.5). On the eve of the Lord’s Day, we gather for “Vigil” — the solemn and meditative services of Vespers and Matins.

The service (mostly sung) takes us through creation, sin, and salvation in Christ. It leads us to the meditation of God’s word and the glorification of his love for men. It instructs us and allows us to praise God for the particular events or persons whose memory is celebrated and made present to us in the Church. It prepares us for the sleep of the night and the dawn of the new day to come. On the evening before the Divine Liturgy, it begins our movement into the most perfect communion with God in the sacramental mysteries.

The “climax” of the Vigil is the proclamation of the Resurrection of Christ in a reading from the Holy Gospels; all may be anointed with holy oil after this reading.

On July 29, the Russian Orthodox Church celebrates the Nativity of Saint Nicholas the Wonderworker, the Bishop of Myra in Lycia, who is one of the most revered saints in Russia.

In addition to the two main holidays dedicated to Saint Nicholas, celebrated on December 6 (the saint's blessed repose) and May 9 (the transfer of his holy relics to the city of Bari), there are other days when the Church remembers the God-pleaser Nicholas.

The Feast of his Nativity was not very widely known in Russia, but in 2004, with the blessing of Patriarch Alexis II of Moscow and All Russia, the celebration of the Nativity of Saint Nicholas was revived.

On this day, the Lord's Day, we celebrate the Divine Liturgy at 9:30 AM. The Gospel reading is Luke XXXX. The services of Holy Trinity Cathedral, a parish of the Orthodox Church in America, are prayed in English. All are welcome!

In the Orthodox Church, the liturgical day begins in the evening with the setting of the sun. This practice follows the Biblical account of creation: “And there was evening and there was morning, one day” (Gen 1.5). On the eve of the Feast, we gather for “Vigil” — the solemn and meditative services of Vespers and Matins.

At the Vespers, the three Old Testamental readings are "Mariological" in their New Testamental interpretation. Thus, Jacob's Ladder which unites heaven and earth and the place which is named "the house of God" and the "gate of heaven" (Genesis 28:10-17) are taken, to indicate the union of God with men which is realized most fully and perfectly-both spiritually and physically-in Mary the Theotokos, Bearer of God. So also the vision of the temple with the "door 'to the East" perpetually closed and filled with the "glory of the Lord" symbolizes Mary, called in the hymns of the feast "the living temple of God filled with the divine Glory." (Ezekiel 43:27-44:4) Mary is also identified with the "house" which the Divine Wisdom has built for himself according to the reading from Proverbs 9:1-11.

On this day, the feast of the Nativity of the Theotokos, the Mother of God, we celebrate the Divine Liturgy at 9:30 AM.  We are open and you are welcome!

The epistle reading of the Divine Liturgy is the famous passage about the coming of the Son of God in "the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of man" (Philippians 2:5-11) and the gospel reading is that which is always read for feasts of the Theotokos--The woman in the crowd glorifies the Mother of Jesus, and the Lord himself responds that the same blessedness which his mother receives is for all "who hear the word of God and keep it." (Luke 11:27-28)

Thus, on the feast of the Nativity of the Theotokos, as on all liturgical celebrations of Christ's Mother, we proclaim and celebrate that through God's graciousness to mankind every Christian receives what the Theotokos receives, the "great mercy" which is given to human persons because of Christ's birth from the Virgin.

In the Orthodox Church, the liturgical day begins in the evening with the setting of the sun. This practice follows the Biblical account of creation: “And there was evening and there was morning, one day” (Gen 1.5). On the eve of the Lord’s Day, we gather for “Vigil” — the solemn and meditative services of Vespers and Matins.

The service (mostly sung) takes us through creation, sin, and salvation in Christ. It leads us to the meditation of God’s word and the glorification of his love for men. It instructs us and allows us to praise God for the particular events or persons whose memory is celebrated and made present to us in the Church. It prepares us for the sleep of the night and the dawn of the new day to come. On the evening before the Divine Liturgy, it begins our movement into the most perfect communion with God in the sacramental mysteries.

The “climax” of the Vigil is the proclamation of the Resurrection of Christ in a reading from the Holy Gospels; all may be anointed with holy oil after this reading.

We continue our fellowship after liturgy with coffee, refreshments, and often other events too, such as church school programs, seminars, and parish council. Our bookstore is open during this time, too!

In the Orthodox Church, the liturgical day begins in the evening with the setting of the sun. This practice follows the Biblical account of creation: “And there was evening and there was morning, one day” (Gen 1.5). On the eve of the Lord’s Day, we gather for “Vigil” — the solemn and meditative services of Vespers and Matins.

The service (mostly sung) takes us through creation, sin, and salvation in Christ. It leads us to the meditation of God’s word and the glorification of his love for men. It instructs us and allows us to praise God for the particular events or persons whose memory is celebrated and made present to us in the Church. It prepares us for the sleep of the night and the dawn of the new day to come. On the evening before the Divine Liturgy, it begins our movement into the most perfect communion with God in the sacramental mysteries.

The “climax” of the Vigil is the proclamation of the Resurrection of Christ in a reading from the Holy Gospels; all may be anointed with holy oil after this reading.

The Divine Liturgy is the common work of Orthodox Christians officially gathered to constitute the Church. It is the action of the Church assembled by God in order to be together in one community to worship, to pray, to sing, to hear God’s Word, to be instructed in God’s commandments, to offer itself with thanksgiving in Christ to God the Father, and to have the living experience of God’s eternal kingdom through communion with the same Christ Who is present in his people by the Holy Spirit.

We continue our fellowship after liturgy with coffee, refreshments, and often other events too, such as church school programs, seminars, and parish council. Our bookstore is open during this time, too!

It is the action of the Church assembled by God in order to be together in one community to worship, to pray, to sing, to hear God’s Word, to be instructed in God’s commandments, to offer itself with thanksgiving in Christ to God the Father, and to have the living experience of God’s eternal kingdom through communion with the same Christ Who is present in his people by the Holy Spirit.

We continue our fellowship after liturgy with coffee, refreshments, and often other events too, such as church school programs, seminars, and parish council. Our bookstore is open during this time, too!

This evening we serve Vespers at 6:00 PM. Our "usual" Wednesday evening Vespers is a chance for us to gather and pray as Church and to refocus on Christ in the middle of the week.

In the Orthodox Church, the liturgical day begins in the evening with the setting of the sun. This practice follows the Biblical account of creation: “And there was evening and there was morning, one day” (Gen 1:5). Vespers leads us to the meditation of God’s word and His love for us. It prepares us for the sleep of the night and the dawn of the new day to come.

The services of Holy Trinity Cathedral, a parish of the Orthodox Church in America, are prayed in English. Our usual vesper service on Wednesday evenings is half an hour long. All are welcome!

On this, the eve of the Lord's Day, we serve Vigil at 6:00 PM. We are open, and you are welcome!

In the Orthodox Church, the liturgical day begins in the evening with the setting of the sun. This practice follows the Biblical account of creation: “And there was evening and there was morning, one day” (Gen 1.5). On the eve of the Lord’s Day, we gather for “Vigil” — the solemn and meditative services of Vespers and Matins.

The service (mostly sung) takes us through creation, sin, and salvation in Christ. It leads us to the meditation of God’s word and the glorification of his love for men. It instructs us and allows us to praise God for the particular events or persons whose memory is celebrated and made present to us in the Church. It prepares us for the sleep of the night and the dawn of the new day to come. On the evening before the Divine Liturgy, it begins our movement into the most perfect communion with God in the sacramental mysteries.

The “climax” of the Vigil is the proclamation of the Resurrection of Christ in a reading from the Holy Gospels; all may be anointed with holy oil after this reading.

The services of Holy Trinity Cathedral, a parish of the Orthodox Church in America, are prayed in English. All are welcome!
