All-Night Vigil

Saturdays at 5pm

The All-Night Vigil is the sacred evening service held on Saturday nights and feast eves, preparing souls for the Lord's Day or festal Liturgy. Through Great Vespers, Matins, and the First Hour, with ancient psalms, hymns, Scripture, and patristic chants, it fosters watchful repentance, reverence, and joyful hope in Christ's Resurrection. Lasting about two hours, this profound vigil purifies the heart for divine worship. All are welcome.

St. Philaret Dialogues

Sundays from 1-2pm

The Longer Catechism of St. Philaret, approved by the Holy Synod in 1830, is the classic Orthodox doctrinal text in question-and-answer form (611 sections). It expounds the Creed (Faith), the Lord’s Prayer and Beatitudes (Hope), and the Ten Commandments (Love), rooted in Scripture and the Holy Fathers, guiding souls to knowledge of God, repentance, prayer, and life in Christ. It remains an essential standard for Orthodox teaching and phronema.

Divine Liturgy

Sundays at 10am

Celebrated Sundays and great feasts, it unites the faithful in ancient prayers, hymns, Scripture, and the anaphora, leading to Holy Communion for forgiveness of sins and eternal life. Guided by the Holy Fathers, this divine service transforms souls through repentance, thanksgiving, and union with the Holy Trinity. Prepared Orthodox approach with faith, fear of God, and love.
