HOLY COMMUNION IN THE ORTHODOX CHURCH

Holy Communion is offered in the Orthodox Church only to those individuals baptized and chrismated (confirmed) in the Orthodox Faith. To participate in Holy Communion, one must be in good standing with the Church spiritually (for example, married people must have had their marriage blessed in the church; and, all must be without grave sin on their hearts). For all Orthodox Christians, the proper preparation for Holy Communion must be observed; that is, examination of conscience, confession, reading the prayers for Holy Communion, and the proper fasting. If you have any further questions about this, please speak with Father Stelio. Women should remove all lipstick when approaching for Holy Communion. Please let the parents with babies, Catechism School children and the elderly approach first.


                WELCOME TO OUR GUESTS

      Rev. Stelios Sitaras and the parishioners of St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church offer warm greetings to all our guests. We are happy to have you worshiping with us and we hope that you will make this your spiritual home in the future. You are invited to receive blessed bread (antidoron) which will be given out at the end of today=s services. Please join us downstairs for refreshments so we can visit with you.
