Beloved in Christ,

 

We have received an incredibly gracious invitation from Fr. Chad Hatfield, the president of St. Vladimir's Seminary, for us to use their Seminary chapel, the Chapel of the Three Hierarchs,  for our divine services, while our air conditioning system is out of commission and under repair.  I have gratefully accepted Fr. Chad’s invitation! 

 

Starting this weekend, July 20 and 21, until I announce otherwise, our Vespers services and Divine Liturgies will be celebrated at the St. Vladimir's Seminary chapel. The St. Vladimir’s Seminary campus is located at 575 Scarsdale Rd., Yonkers 10707.   Parking is available on the Seminary campus and on the surrounding neighborhood streets.  The SVS Website for directions is

This Saturday, at 6:00 pm, Reader’s Vespers will be served by Protodeacon John, as I will be on my way home from Saint Andrew’s Camp, upstate. The Divine Liturgy will begin Sunday at 9:30 am, as usual, with myself and Protodeacon John celebrating. 

 

We will not have coffee hour, as those facilities are not presently available at the Seminary. 

 

I ask that each of you kindly share this announcement with anyone you know in the parish who would not be certain to receive this email message from me.  Not everyone has a computer and email; and obviously there is not much time until the weekend. Thank you for any effort you can make in spreading this message.  Also, please offer to carpool with parishioners who may not be comfortable driving to an unfamiliar place. 

 

I look forward to seeing you all this weekend ... in the air conditioned Chapel at Saint Vladimir’s! And any expression  of thanks that you might extend to Father Chad and St. Vladimir's Seminary, I am sure, will be much appreciated!   

 

With love in Christ,

Fr. David
