When I recently announced the date of Easter, which is late this year, the Great Fast seemed so far away. Now it is almost upon us. This coming week is already Meat Fare week which ends with the celebration of the partial beginning of the Fast (traditionally the faithful gave up eating meat after next Sunday). It just doesn’t seem possible.

It is my hope again to offer the following extra service during the Great Fast:

Presanctified Liturgy

Each Friday Evening at 7:00 PM

I had also hoped to find a way to provide either some ongoing discussions during the Great Fast or a simple
Day of Recollection

This day, or half-day, would be scheduled closer to the Great and Holy Week.
