Clean Friday Morning Services

Please find the sound files for all the Clean Friday Divine Services at St. Vladimir's below. Unfortunately the power went out during the morning services. We have almost all the service there, but without the altar microphones (which require power). The choir microphones have batter back up. Please plan to join us this weekend as we all, as a parish family, partake of Holy Communion together.

Clean Wednesday Morning Services

Please find the sound file for the Wednesday morning Divine Services of Clean Week at St. Vladimir's, including the first Presanctified Liturgy of 2016. Unfortunately there was a technical problem with the Great Compline service from Wednesday night and we cannot share that with our parish family. We ask your forgiveness for that. We hope to see you soon at St. Vladimir's - there are still many services of the First Week of Great Lent and we hope all get an opportunity to participate in these on some level. Please recall that we are making an effort as a parish family to all partake of Holy Communion this coming Saturday or Sunday or both.

Sunday of the Publican & Pharisee

Please find below the sound files from the weekend of the Publican & Pharisee. Sadly something happened to the Vigil file. That is too bad - the choir that evening was really quite wonderful. Also, the sermon is a little quiet in the beginning. It gets better after four minutes or so. Safest plan? If you are able come to the Divine Services! :) Then if the sound equipment fails you will still get the full effect of the service! All are welcome here!

Meeting of the Lord

Please find below the sound files from the feast of the Meeting of the Lord. Thankfully Fr. Gregory's computer has been convinced that it should indeed work with sound and video files. Thus, we hope before Great Lent begins to catch up on what we have missed in the last few weeks. We thank everyone for their patience!
