Beloved in Christ,

As posted here below, Archbishop Peter has now directed that services are now to be executed solely by the parish clergy and only as many servers and/or readers and chanters as are absolutely necessary. He has also made a final decision on how we are to conduct ourselves during the remainder of Holy Week and Pascha. Please take a few moments to read what he has written.

This means that, as of this time, access to services at Sts. Joachim and Anna is closed. Only I and a small group of designated individuals will serve. Arrangements have been made to live-stream services (see News and Events section) until we are able to open to all again. 

Although this is heartbreaking, remember that we are making this sacrifice for the sake not only of our own welfare but for that of our fellow human beings--all created in the image and likeness of God--around the state, country and ultimately the world.
