Dear Parish Faithful,
I continue to monitor the tense situation with the coronavirus and I am in conversation with professional healthcare personnel and other Orthodox priests. At the same time, I feel a moral and pastoral responsibility to the parish and our larger community, to protect everyone's well-being.
Therefore, taking my lead from the directive of Archbishop Alexander Golitsin of the Diocese of the South, we are going to drastically limit the number of participants at tomorrow's Liturgy.
If you have not received a personal phone call from me, please do not come to the Liturgy here tomorrow morning.
I continue to believe that we should serve the Liturgy, which is offered on behalf of the entire parish, our city and "all humankind."
In Christ,
Fr. Steven
