Our parish has had a steady stream of people interested in the Church for about the last 15 months - in spite of COVID. Most are younger and coming out of some form of Protestantism (or nothing). Just curious to see what other parishes are experiencing.

as a “lay” panakhida service that I can pray at home for my sister, who just passed away? Thanks for your help.

So this happened yesterday. :liturgy: For those of you with fb accounts, hopefully you can open this: https://www.facebook.com/pg/stsavatx/photos/?tab=album&album_id=2085966664809977

Just curious - will both be celebrated in the Mass this Sunday, or does Palm Sunday trump Annunciation? Our Palm Sunday is a week later than yours this year, so we don't have this coincidence.

I was talking to my husband about this the other day, and wondering how this will affect your services next Sunday, if at all? Does Palm Sunday "trump" Annunciation, or will you observe both? Just curious. We're a week later than the west this year, so it's not happening for us. :-)

Just wishing my Anglican brother & sisters a profitable Lent!

https://oca.org/news/headline-news/meeting-between-the-oca-and-traditionalist-anglicans-held Interesting. I'm happy they're meeting & talking, but I also wonder why there have been no meetings (to my knowledge) with the Continuing Anglican bodies, who are the true traditionalists among the...

I've posted a question in OBOB & STR about what they will do this year, since the Feast of the Annunciation falls on Good Friday in the west. I haven't gotten a response in STR, but apparently they just transfer the Feast til after the Octave in the RCC. I've heard that on the Old Calendar...

Yes, another thread by an Orthodox poster. :wave: I hope you don't mind too much. This is just a matter of curiosity. Most of you know that my husband is a Continuing Anglican, so I realized that there is a rather unusual occurrence on the western calendar this year. How do the Anglican...

Hi, all. Y'all observe the Feast of the Annunciation on March 25th, right? This year, that is Good Friday for the western churches, so I was just wondering if that changes your services at all, or how it's handled. For instance, in Orthodoxy I've heard that it's a really special thing if the...

http://www.ledger-dispatch.com/news/a-saint-in-our-midst This is a lovely article about the newly canonized St. Sebastian Dabovich. It's in a community newspaper, but it reads as though the author is Orthodox. Gurney, is this close to you? Mary

I thought you might be interested in this. I'm impressed by the global representation of both Communions. Perhaps something of substance will come out of it, though I know our differences will never be completely reconciled...

she says in her best Texas accent. :wave: Seems awfully quiet around here. Christ is risen! Mary

Someone shared this on facebook and I thought it was worth sharing. God bless Mr. Davey for taking on this work (although the article title is rather sensationalist and not really the point). Bob Davey defies Satanists death threats to renovate Houghton-on-the-Hill church, Norfolk | Daily...

and since we are all on the same "calendar" this year, I thought it would be nice if we share our own practices/services for Holy Week. I always try to take vacation for Holy Thursday - Bright Wednesday so I can participate fully in the services. I wish I could take all of those two weeks, but...

Joyous Feast of the Annunciation to everyone. Do all of the Apostolic Succession bodies observe this Feast today? Do you have services today? Mary

:) Tonight's Liturgy of the Pre-Sanctified Gifts begins the Holy Week & Bright Week marathon. I am so ready! I work through Holy Wednesday, then have Holy Thursday - Bright Wednesday off. I hate missing any of the services the next two weeks. Here's our parish schedule: Tonight...

Sorry to start a whole new thread for this, but I don't know where else to put it. Since I post in the forum a lot, and since today is the first day of the Orthodox Great Fast, which we start by asking forgiveness from all whom we can . . . . . . I ask forgiveness from all of you whom I have...
