BASEMENT EXPANSION

St. Anthony's is currently undergoing renovations to expand the basement of our facility. Please note that during this construction period, there will be NO week day Liturgies held on feast days. We encourage our members to attend services at one of our sister parishes. Please contact the office of the parish you wish to attend for information on service times as they may vary.


CONCERNING OUR WORSHIP

St. Anthony's members describe our community as a family of worship. We feel it is important for our parishioners to take part in the fullness of the Orthodox liturgical experience. This experience includes celebrating the various special services of the liturgical calendar (Feast Days, Holy Week, etc.), and regularly holding services of the daily cycle (Great Vespers, Matins).

In particular, we encourage the full participation of our parishioners in the Divine Liturgy through special liturgical ministries, congregational singing and most importantly, more frequent participation in the sacraments (Confession, Holy Communion). Participation in the Holy Eucharist is the foundation of our spiritual life and growth in keeping with Holy Tradition and the example set by the the venerable Saints Cyril and Methodius.

St. Anthony's communicates the Liturgy and Scriptures to our parishioners in the common vernacular understood by all members. We believe it is precisely that incorporation of both Ukrainian and English into Parish life that has given rise to our diverse and growing membership. Since inspiration for reflection on the Gospel readings is stressed every Sunday, it is important that everyone be able to understand the knowledge that is being imparted to them. This makes it simpler to relate to what we hear so we can try to impliment the teachings into our everyday lives. Our regular Sunday Divine Liturgy is approximately 65% English and on the second and last Sundays of every month, we worship in English only.
