On Monday, April 5th we welcomed Fr. Timothy Hojnicki from Holy Apostles Mission and Fr. Patrick Burns from Holy Annunciation Church; as well as members of their communities for the celebration of the Ressurectional Divine Liturgy for Bright Monday. Fr.

The angel cried to the Lady Full of Grace: Rejoice, O Pure Virgin! Again I say: Rejoice! Your Son is risen from His three days in the tomb! With Himself He has raised all the dead! Rejoice, all you people!

Shine! Shine! O New Jerusalem! The Glory of the Lord has shone on you! Exalt now and be glad, O Zion! Be radiant, O Pure Theotokos, in the Resurrection of your Son!
 
(Paschal Hymn to the Theotokos)
