“Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, and whose hope is the Lord.” (Jeremiah 17:7) Dear faithful, we want to inform you that this week, from Wednesday, April 16, through Friday, April 18, we will be at the church each evening at 5:00 PM for the Sacrament of Holy Confession. Please prepare yourselves spiritually and arrive early to avoid last-minute crowding.
Also, during these same days, from Wednesday to Friday, the Bridegroom Services (Deniile) will begin at 7:00 PM. We encourage you to participate reverently in these services, which prepare our hearts for the encounter with the Light of the Resurrection / Holy Pascha. The Paschal (Easter) Resurrection Service will begin on the night of Saturday to Sunday, April 20, 2025, at midnight (11:59 PM). On Easter Sunday, we will celebrate the Vespers of the Resurrection starting at 11:59 AM.
We invite you to our Easter Fellowship Meal, beginning at 1:00 PM. This heartfelt gathering, dedicated to the faithful and members of our parish, offers us the opportunity to live the joy of the Lord’s Resurrection in communion, strengthening us in faith and brotherly love. The menu, lovingly prepared, will include traditional lamb-based dishes, in the spirit of our Christian hospitality. To ensure the smooth running of the event, attendance is limited to 80 people, and the Parish Council members will take care of all details to provide a warm and welcoming environment.
Those who wish to participate are kindly asked to contact Mrs. Olivia Rotar at (760) 861-7124 for reservations and further details. To help cover the event’s expenses, each parishioner is encouraged to bring an offering/donation to the Holy Church, with love and by the blessings received from God, so that this meal may be a festive feast and an expression of our Christian generosity and love. We look forward to praying and celebrating this great mystery of faith together, with peace and joy! With love in Christ, Fr. Iustin Capsa
„Binecuvantat sa fie omul care se increde in Domnul si a carui nadejde este Domnul!” (Ieremia XVII:7) Dragi credinciosi, va anuntam ca in aceasta saptamana, incepand de miercuri, 16 aprilie pana vineri, 18 aprilie, in fiecare seara, de la ora 5:00 PM, vom fi la Biserica pentru Taina Sfintei Spovedanii. Va rugam sa va pregatiti sufleteste si sa veniti din timp pentru a evita aglomeratia din ultimele momente.
Tot in aceste zile, de miercuri pana vineri, slujba deniilor va incepe la ora 7:00 PM. Va indemnam sa participati cu evlavie la aceste slujbe, care ne pregatesc inimile pentru intalnirea cu Lumina Invierii / Sfintele Pasti. Slujba de Inviere va incepe in noaptea de sambata spre duminica, 20 aprilie 2025, la miezul noptii (11:59 PM). Duminica, in ziua de Pasti, va fi savarsita Slujba Vecerniei (Invierea a Doua), incepand cu ora 11:59 AM.
Totodata, va invitam la Masa de Pasti, la ora 1:00 PM. Aceasta intalnire de suflet, dedicata credinciosilor / membrilor parohiei noastre, ne ofera prilejul de a trai in comuniune bucuria Invierii Domnului, intarindu-ne in credinta si dragoste frateasca. Meniul pregatit cu dragoste va include preparate traditionale pe baza de miel, in duhul ospitalitatii noastre crestine. Pentru buna desfasurare a evenimentului, locurile sunt limitate la 80 de persoane, iar membrii Consiliului Parohial se vor ingriji de toate detaliile, asigurand un cadru cald si primitor.
Cei care doresc sa participe, pentru rezervare si detalii suplimentare, sunt rugati sa contacteze pe doamna Olivia Rotar la numarul (760) 861-7124. Pentru a acoperi costurile organizarii, fiecare credincios aduce prinos/donatie la Sfanta Biserica, cu dragoste si dupa binecuvantarile primite de la Dumnezeu, ca aceasta masa sa fie nu doar un ospat de sarbatoare, ci si o expresie a generozitatii si iubirii noastre crestine. Vom intreprinde demersurile necesare pentru obtinerea licentei de servire a bauturilor alcoolice, astfel incat sa ne bucuram de o atmosfera autentica si bine organizata. Va asteptam cu drag sa ne rugam, sa sarbatorim impreuna marea taina a credintei, cu pace si bucurie! Preot Paroh Iustin Capsa
