Resurrectional Apolytikion
  When the women Disciples of the Lord had learned from the Angel the joyful message of the Resurrection and rejected the ancestral decision, they cried aloud to the Apostles triumphantly: Death has been despoiled, Christ God has risen, granting His great mercy to the world.
For St. AnnaYou carried within your womb her who was pregnant with Life, the Mother of God, O godlyminded Anna; and thus to heaven were you today transported with great rejoicing, where those who feast dwell in glory. You pray for the forgiveness of offenses for the faithful who honor you with longing, O ever-blessed one.

Apolytikion of the Parish Church
      As a disciple of the Lord, O righteous one, you have received the Gospel. As a martyr, you are never turned away, as a brother of God you have boldness, as a hierarch you can intercede. Do you intercede to Christ our God to save our souls.

Kontakion  Today we observe the memory of Christ’s forebears, and also we pray that we might receive their aid, so that all of us may be freed from tribulations, as we cry aloud, “Be with us, O Lord our God, who glorified them as You were pleased to do.”

Dear Parishioners,
Please come join us as we celebrate the Divine Liturgy this Saturday July 24th. Orthros will begin at 9AM, Divine Liturgy at 10AM.
It has certainly been a very busy and active last few weeks in our Parish, and we want to encourage all to come out with their families.
Congratulations to our newest member, Theodore Swann, who was baptized and chrismated this past Saturday! Praise be to God!
