Father Steven Belonick delivered a very moving message following the Canon of St Andrew. For those who were unable to attend the service last night, please see the link below to listen. It truly gets to the purpose of Great Lent; breaking our hard heartedness in order for us to submit to God’s will and find the riches of God’s Kingdom.

This past Sunday, the church school children of Holy Ghost performed in the annual Yolka. The children put on a short play about Christmas, danced the Troika, and recreated the nativity of Christ. Teachers Debbie Stabler and Carol Kaputa worked with the children, helping them learn lines and dance steps. They all did a wonderful job! Its such a joy to see the children show their talents and spread joy to the parish. Many thanks!
Blessed art Thou, O Christ our God, who hast revealed the fisherman as most wise by sending down upon them the Holy Spirit. Through them Thou didst draw the world into Thy net. O Lover of mankind, glory to Thee!
