WE ARE NOW PERMITTED 25% OF CAPACITY
So... is it safe to attend Divine Liturgy?
We will do our best to follow guidelines to minimize risk.
Please be aware that opening the church to 25% of capacity is allowed NOT because there is no further risk of contracting the Covid-19 virus. We are allowed to do so because it has been calculated by the State of New York that the health system can manage the expected increase in new cases resulting from this new permission.

Please sanitize your hands upon entering the church.
Pews and floor will be marked for social distancing.
Please ask for candles and they will be handed to you.

Please do not congregate following liturgy, but proceed to your cars.

A HOUSE OF PEACE
“Every temple of the Lord is a house of divine presence and a house of prayer. Every temple is also a house of peace.
May the soul of all those who enter into this holy temple to take part in the Assembly of God, become itself a house of peace.”
from Serve the Lord with Gladness by A Monk of the Eastern Church
