In anticipation of the Dormition of the Theotokos, please join us for the beautiful Paraklesis service, during which we offer praise to the Mother of God and ask for her intercessions for the healing of our souls and bodies.

The service of the Small Paraklesis, conducted in alternation with the Great Paraklesis during the Dormition fast (August 1-14) as well as on many other occasions, is chanted in times of distress and sorrow of soul and is one of the most popular services of the Orthodox Church. Learn more and listen to the beautiful hymns of this service here.
