Lord, save Your people and bless Your inheritance, granting our rulers to prevail over adversaries, and protecting Your commonwealth by Your Cross.

Lifted up on the Cross by Your free will, Christ God, grant mercies to the new commonwealth that bears Your name. Gladden our faithful rulers by Your power, giving them victories over their adversaries. May Your alliance be for them a weapon for peace, an invincible standard.

Current Requirements for Attending Services in Person:
Based upon the wisdom of our hierarchs and guidance from the medical community within both the diocese and archdiocese, it is the current practice of our parish community to sign up to attend Liturgy to maintain conditions that help to keep our parishioners safe. Our parish is taking these measures so that when the time comes, our parish can open without restrictions. Please see below for a summary of our current practices:
  • If you would like to attend a service in person, you MUST sign up using the Sign Up Genius link: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/9040A4EACA92CA2FF2-attend3
  • If you attend a service in person, you MUST wear a mask while in the building and are unable to social distance.
  • If you do not sign up using the link above to attend a service, please do not show up to the church building in person. We cannot handle excess overflow of people who do not sign up.
