Dear Parishioners & Friends of St. Stephen,
Thanks be to God, beginning Monday, May 18th, our liturgical celebrations will once again be open to the public. The dispensation from the obligation to attend Liturgy (either Vespers, Matins, or Divine Liturgy) for Sundays and Great Feasts remains in effect until further notice. No one is dispensed from prayer on the Lord’s Day, of course. Keep praying! If it has been more than a month since your last confession, make sure to go to confession before receiving holy communion. This, along with fasting and prayer, is a necessary step in preparing to receive holy communion. I am available for confession at the times listed in the bulletin and also by appointment.
Though we will once again be celebrating together, this will not be “back to normal.” Bishop Milan has given us many guidelines to follow when we reopen:
God be with you all and I so look forward to seeing those of you who come!
In Christ,
Fr. John
Sunday & Saturday morning at 10:00am
Wednesday & Friday evening at 7:00pm
