“Easter is our return every year to our own Baptism, whereas Lent is our preparation for that return–that slow and sustained effort to perform, at the end, our own “passage” or “pascha” into the new life of Christ.” – Fr. Alexander Schmemann

Matins on Sunday will be starting early in order to make sure that the chanters do not feel rushed. Please come around 9:10am. We’ve worked hard, so please come and hear us.
