  • Thursday Night Talks - 6:30pm Saint James House

    Fr. Marc, with Eric and Hannah, will host this time of discussion and casual conversation around the living room fireplace, about topics all Christians are challenged with in our modern world. We will approach these topics from the Orthodox perspective, but this doesn’t mean we will always come to perfect conclusions on every topic. Rather we will listen and learn from others and try to have an open mind about some things. The format will be to read a short something together followed by a discussion. Weekly articles can be found at the following link.

Brothers of Lazarus
View previous posts

Tim Mellor meets with men who want to be be part of the 'Brothers of Lazarus.'The Brothers of Lazarus is a fellowship of volunteer ‘handy-men,’ focused on the upkeep, care, maintenance, and improvement of our Cathedral buildings and properties, and on other special needs, putting their personal skills and experience to work for the Lord and His Church. The Brothers of Lazarus are men whose family and work responsibilities allow them time and energy to volunteer. It is not intended to replace the work of skilled contractors or hired laborers.

Sunday's Homily Excerpt -April 21, 2024 - Subdn. Tim Mellor

At the end of our tribulations, at the end of our winters, there is Christ. Christ who sacrificed Himself for us, so that we may have eternal salvation. A sacrifice we take part in at every Liturgy. It is Christ who with all mercy and kindness, makes us worthy to approach Him. A sacrifice that is given to us for the welfare and sanctification and healing of our souls and bodies. And it is through that sacrifice and healing that we may know peace in Christ..-
