25th Sunday after Pentecost, November 28/December 11, 2016

Please find the sound files from Sunday November 28/December 11, 2016 below. This is also the commemoration of St. Stephen the New Venerable Martyr. Please note the katavasia sung at Vigil. This is a new variant of the Nativity Irmos that we've not done before. It was really quite beautiful. Also, the Cherubic Hymn at Liturgy was remarkably beautiful too. That is not to say that you shouldn't listen to all the files in their entirety - you should!

Our live stream had a hiccup today - for some reason the internet conked out midway through the Liturgy. We are looking into that. It could have been the snow, but this is two Sundays in a row so maybe not. Thank you for your patience!

Please join us in person soon at St. Vladimir's!

The Gospel calls us to love everyone - and sharing the Orthodox Faith is one great way to exhibit this love!

Sts. Catherine & Mercurius

Please find the sound files for the feast of the Great Martyrs Catherine & Mercurius at the links below. Although these two favorites of God had no connection whatsoever in this life except that they were both Christians, their martyrdom took place on the same date (many years apart). We congratulate all our Catherines and our lone, extraordinary Mercurius on their names days!

Entry of the Theotokos into the Temple

And we're back! After a long struggle with editing software we seem to have been victorious! Over time we will try to create sound files of those services that were missed over the last few months. Thank you for your patience! Please provide feedback about the editing we are doing. Your feedback makes the files we provide better!

Below please find the sound files from the feast of the Entrance of the Mother of God at St. Vladimir's, which was the 24th Sunday after Pentecost this year as well. If you would like to hear the hymn our Weekday Choir sang before communion please go to Congratulations to all with the feast!
