With the growing number of photos of events being provided by more and more parishioners, as well as occasional videos of interest to the parish, it seemed wise to host all these media on one Gallery. This is a modest start right now, but we have high hopes for the future!
The only 'exception' to our rule is the Hogar Page, which will continue to host slide shows and media covering Christ the Savior Mission Trips, the Hogar children, visits to our parish by the Madres, and anything Hogar-related.
We hope you enjoy this new and growing feature of our parish website!
May it be blessed!
* NOTE: Events will be added in reverse chronological order, most recent at top, oldest at bottom. Eventually, we will create archive pages on an annual basis with links to each archive from the main Gallery page.

Church School celebrates Pascha with Bright Friday gathering - 05/10/13
Games, crafts, food and fun highlighted our Church School's Bright Week celebration. Fr. Steven was quite involved with the festivities too, showing his skills at table-top ping pong, and even taking a swipe at the pinata! Following the party, the parish celebrated Paschal Vespers for Bright Saturday, our last service for Bright Week, and turning us towards Thomas Sunday...
Fr. John Behr, internationally renowned patristic scholar and dean of St Vladimir's Seminary, joined us the weekend of April 20-21, concelebrating Saturday Vespers, the Divine Liturgy, and Lenten Vespers, delivering a special talk Sunday evening: "Becoming Human According to the Early Church Fathers." Our thanks and appreciation to our esteemed guests, and to everyone who helped make this such a special weekend in the life of the parish!

After investigating a number of online services,
I settled on the service provided by the company with which I have been associated since 1984.
