Apolytikion for Thomas Sunday
Christ our God, You are the Life that dawned from the grave, though the tomb was sealed. Through closed doors You came to the Apostles. You are the Resurrection of all. And, You renewed us through them with an upright spirit, according to Your great mercy. -Translation by Narthex Press

CHRIST IS RISEN! NOW WHAT?

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

Once again, another Great Lent and Holy Week has come and gone. The crowds we witnessed for Holy Unction, the Lamentations, and the Resurrection, have dispersed and many of the individuals that attended will not be seen or heard from until next year.
