SSOC Friends List – is an email list for the members of the Cathedral. This is a great way to say in touch with each other and to share late breaking news. If you would like to be on the SSOC Friends Lists, email Fr. Joseph at and he will add you.
We Kindly Reminder – that only students, teachers, those parents who must accompany their children to Church School, and those hosting Coffee Hour have a blessing to leave the Cathedral after Holy Communion. Please do not congregate in front of the Cathedral during the Divine Liturgy. Thank you.
Many Thanks-to all who made yesterday’s Lazarus Saturday Church School pancake breakfast and palm cross making events a joy.
The SSOC Parish Council-will meet today. A major part of the agenda will be spent in reviewing a memorandum to the parish council and clergy by Metropolitan Jonah outlining expectations on how the parish council and the clergy are to understand their cooperative and complementary work. A copy of the memorandum is available at the candle desk and is posted on the bulletin board in the hall. If you would like an electronic copy, please ask any parish council member to forward it to you.
With Holy Week-now in front of us, we will be asked to radically change our normal routines so that we can attend as many of the Holy Week services as possible. Prayerfully consider how each can make the necessary sacrifices, personally and families, to enter into the this most sacred week of the year as we prepare for the Lord’s Pascha.
Blessed is he who, though maligned and disparaged every day for the Lord's sake, constrains himself to be patient- St. John Climacus, Ladder of Divine Ascent, Step 4
