We have posted a marked version of the +Msgr. Levkulik service book (1976), cross-referencing to the current Divine Liturgy text ("Green Book") whenever possible and appropriate, namely for the standard hymns of Vespers.

A link to the marked text is now available on the For the Faithful resource page.

Propers for Great & Holy Thursday

We have posted a marked version of the +Msgr. Levkulik service book (1976), cross-referencing to the current Divine Liturgy text ("Green Book") whenever possible and appropriate, namely for the sections of the Divine Liturgy of St. Basil the Great.

Tonight's service is Vespers with Divine Liturgy (of St. Basil the Great). For those of you who attended this past Monday evening's service for the Feast of the Annunciation / Great & Holy Monday, the structure of the service will seem very familiar ...

A link to the marked text is now posted to the For the Faithful resource page.


P.S. We will post a similar mark-up of the Great Friday people's book later this evening. Stay tuned!

Hymns & Propers: Palm Sunday - March 24, 2012

Tomorrow is Palm Sunday, also known in our tradition as Willow Sunday. With our Lord's Journey into Jerusalem, we move from the Great Fast into Holy Week.

As a Feast of Our Lord, we note that the Propers include modified versions of the First, Second and Third Antiphons, as well as the Entrance Hymn (chanted before the Troparion and Kontakion).

Hymns, propers and liturgical hymn selection (order of worship) for this Divine Liturgy have been posted to our For the Faithful resource page.

Epistle - Phillipians 4:4-9
Gospel - John 12:1-18

Tone of the week = Festal Tone

Please join us in worship on this joyous Sunday and throughout Holy Week, as we complete our preparation for the Pascha!
