Dearly beloved brothers and sisters in Christ!
May God bless you!
I had a conversation with the Metropolitan this morning,
and since this morning, he has written a decree,
and this is the important information:
We all have been given a cross to bear:
Effective immediately:
Our churches must comply with the governor’s restrictions on gatherings in Connecticut.
All “non-essential“ gatherings are restricted.
What does that mean for us? For us this means that all the services this week, including Saturday morning liturgy, will be conducted with the most skeletal crew possible.
That is all that Vladyka blesses, for now. Essentially, just my family.
It’s the safest “social distancing” for now.
No deacon, no choir, nobody else, just the three or four of us in the church.

The services will be conducted with the doors closed and locked.
If anyone is in need of Confession and Communion,
I have been instructed to use emergency gifts.

We plan to stream, or post the services on the Facebook page,
and/or the web page but frankly we are still working on it.
I hope, God Willing, to soon have a clearer understanding about what can happen this Sunday, perhaps we can add some participants but for now, this is our situation.
