2018 Vicariate Spiritual Retreat

By

On Saturday, October 13, 2018 at the Cathedral of St. George in Daly City, CA, the Vicariate held the 3rd Annual Spiritual Retreat of the Vicariate for Palestinian/Jordanian Orthodox Christian Communities in the USA. The speakers were Archimandrite Damaskinos Alazrai (who gave his presentation in Arabic), Fr. Thaddaeus Hardenbrook, Fr. John A. Peck, and Fr. Leo Arrowsmith whose presentations are embedded below. Although it is not below, Master Iconographer Fr. Luke Dingman also gave a short presentation.

The text of Fr. John’s presentation is below the videos.

Blessing the Chapel of St. Nikiphoros the Leper

By

On Wednesday, September 26, 2018, the holy relics of St. Nikiphoros the Leper were brought to the Hermitage Chapel of St. Nikiphoros for a special blessing. The Paraklesis service to St. Nikiphoros was celebrated, and the holy relics were made available for veneration.

On Sunday, September 30, the holy relics will be brought to All Saints of North America Orthodox Church for veneration, two days before the Church of St. Nikiphoros will be consecrated by several hierarchs and many faithful, including the Patriarchs of Constantinople, Alexandria, Jerusalem, and many more hierarchs. 

The parishioners of ASONA made a special gift to help the building up of the Church of St. Nikiphoros, and we are doubly blessed to have a portion of his relics on this special day!

L.A.M.B.S. – Learning About My Blessed Savior

By

On the one year anniversary of ASONA, we are launching our L.A.M.B.S. (Learning About My Blessed Savior) Children’s Education group.

Our Chidren’s Educaiton Group is run by Laura Broughton, and assisted by Sophia Mastrangelo. Please get in touch with them after Divine Liturgy if you have questions, wish to join, or need additional information. This part of the website will be the location for weekly lessons, updates, and news. Parents, please make sure you are in touch with us – this is a very specific program, and requires precision planning to accomplish.

For everyone else, we ask you to pray daily for our L.A.M.B.S. Group and Group Leaders for the rest of the year.

If you have any questions, see Fr. John or Laura on Sunday!
