Parish Weekend Update
February 24th, 2022
Paraklesis for the Peace of the World
Dear Beloved Parishioners, 

Please join us in praying for the peace of our world and the Holy Protection of the Holy Theotokos during tomorrow's Paraklesis service, which will be offered at 9:00 AM as we pray for all those directly affected by the conflict between Russia and Ukraine.  

During our Bible Study last night we read how Saint Paisios, during the Gulf War in the early 1990's, shut himself in his cell, cutting off all contact with visitors.  That went on during the entire duration of the war.  In fact, he intensified his prayer so that the war would not get out of control and become even more destructive.  This is a time to lift up more prayer, so that sparks of aggression do not ignite into a global conflict.   

With love in Christ, 
Fr. Hector

Update to Parish's Masking Policy
As of Tuesday's Parish Council Meeting (February 15th), the parish's masking policy in place from August 23, 2021 has been modified from required masking in the church building to optional masking.   

This change was made largely due to the decreasing rates of Covid transmission in Lancaster County and following the most recent guidance from His Eminence Metropolitan Savas, who indicated that while strongly encouraged, masking will no longer be mandated.
