Today Fr Vladyslav will offer the Divine Liturgy in memory of the deceased fallen and service members of our parish family.<br />
<br />
The propers for this morning's liturgy can be accessed using this link: <a href="https://drive.google.com/open?id=1o6YD3DmAWckDyLSs7vMkVjDYdtaT2mi0" target="_blank">20200525 Memorial Day DL</a><br />
<br />
We are still in the octave of the Ascension of Our Lord, so the propers are a combination of the feast day propers and those for the Divine Liturgy for the departed.<br />
<br />
For the final hymn, we will take the first and third verses of <i>America the Beautiful</i>, the third verse being particularly on point for today's national memorial.<br />
<br />
<i>O beautiful for heroes proved</i><br />
<i>In liberating strife,</i><br />
<i>Who more than self their country loved</i><br />
<i>And mercy more than life!</i><br />
<i>America! America!</i><br />
<i>May God thy gold refine,</i><br />
<i>Till all success be nobleness,</i><br />
<i>And every gain divine!</i></div>

<span style="color: #274e13;"><b>We bow to Your cross, O Lord, and we glorify Your holy resurrection!</b></span><br />
<br />
On Sunday, September 13th, 2015 we will celebrate the Feast of the Exaltation.<br />
<br />
This date is also our traditional patronal feast day, given that it was the day on which the dedication of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem (also called the Church of the Resurrection) is commemorated.<br />
<br />
As part of our celebration tomorrow, our new Pastor, Reverend Tyler A. Strand, plans to make the solemn blessing of the four corners of the earth with the Holy Cross, an ancient tradition in churches of the Byzantine Rite and other Eastern & Oriental Christian traditions.<br />
<br />
The text and music for the ritual blessing, taken from the propers of Matins for the feast, can be found <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwJnY6JiJTEiYUhweXM0WDdhN0k/view?usp=sharing" target="_blank"><span style="color: #990000;">here</span></a>.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
REPRINT OF EMAIL TO CHOIR & CHANTERS - LONG ISLAND PARISHES</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: right;">
Wednesday, the 7th of May in the Year of Our Lord 2014</div>
<br />
Dear friends & fellow chanters:<br />
<br />
Christ is risen!<br />
<br />
By popular demand, we will be beginning a series of evening sessions over the summer and into the fall to review the basics of chant in our tradition and Metropolitan Church.<br />
<br />
As decided with the Smithtown chanters this past Sunday, and as will be announced in the parish bulletins in Smithtown and Westbury this weekend, we have scheduled the first of these sessions for Thursday, May 15th @ 7PM.<br />
<br />
These sessions will be open to all interested, and it is envisioned that we will follow a basic curriculum as suggested by the <a href="http://www.metropolitancantorinstitute.org/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #990000;">Metropolitan Cantor Institute</span></a> for review of the settings and text as it appears in and was intended to be used from the green pew book issued by the Archeparchy in 2006. This has been our official text since the feast of Sts. Peter & Paul in June 2007. Despite its near seven years of availability and use, many parishes and faithful still struggle with the "new" text and revised notation for a number of standard hymns and responses.<br />
<br />
While these sessions will be open to all interested (our chanters, parishioners, faithful & friends), it will be geared to ensure we as chanters and active faithful have a firm command of the basics, as a foundation for later sessions on harmonized chant and choral works for our chant group.<br />
<br />
I plan to consult with my regular contacts at the MCI, as well as our own local cantors, for setting the curriculum forward and will publish the same ASAP, but no later than the Feast of the Ascension of Our Lord. The schedule and curriculum will be highlighted regularly on our blog: <a href="http://resurrectionchanters.blogspot.com/"><span style="color: #990000;">resurrectionchanters.blogspot.com</span></a><br />
<br />
Please plan to attend if you can, and coax as many of your fellow parishioners as you can to come as well. You all know who the chanters are among us!</div>

In honor of our new Holy Father, Pope Francis, and in gratitude to our Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI, we offer musical tribute from our common Catholic tradition, as adapted by the Eastern Catholic Churches of the Byzantine-Slavonic Rite.<br />
<br />
A Papal Hymn is included on pages 186-187 of Father Stefan Papp's collection, <i>Duchovňi Pisňi</i> (1969), entitled <i><a href="http://www.metropolitancantorinstitute.org/books/PappHymnal/page?page=186" target="_blank"><span style="color: #990000;">De Petra Svjata Mohila</span></a> (On Peter's Holy Mound). </i>This hymn from common tradition of the Universal Church has been traditionally sung as a recessional hymn in our own churches at the conclusion of Hierarchical Divine Liturgies, as an expression of our unity with the Holy See of St. Peter. Of note, this hymn was heard at the Hierarchical Divine Liturgy of last year's annual Litmanová pilgrimage, hosted by Metropolitan Ján Babjak, with His Beatitude Sviatoslav Shevchuk, Major Archbishop of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church as main celebrant. Regrettably, the YouTube video including this rendering is no longer available (see our blog post from 8 August 2012).<br />
<br />
+Professor John Kahanick had set the Slavonic verses of this hymn to four part harmony in 1953, later offering a translation to English in 1981 while serving at the Cathedral of St. Michael the Archangel in Passaic, NJ. A copy of these choral settings, the last known use of which was the occasion of the enthronement of +Bishop Andrew J. Pataki as third Bishop of the Eparchy of Passaic on 8 February 1996, is available via this link => <span style="color: #990000;"><a href="https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BwJnY6JiJTEiYnE1Q2hrcURiSDQ/edit?usp=sharing" target="_blank"><span style="color: #990000;">Kahanick: St. Michael's Cathedral Choir "Red Book" - <i>Papal Hymn</i> [59</span></a>]</span>.<br />
<br />
May God grant Pope Francis many happy, healthy and blessed years! Na mnohaja i blahaja l'ita, Vladyko!</div>
