First-visit guide with parking, etiquette, communion guidance, and bilingual primer.

What to expect

Orthros and Divine Liturgy include standing, chanting, prayer, Scripture, and Holy Communion for prepared Orthodox Christians.

Parking guidance is pending parish confirmation. The POC keeps this visible so staff can correct it quickly.

Visitors are welcome to observe, light candles, and ask questions after the service.

Holy Communion is received by Orthodox Christians who are properly prepared. Visitors may come forward for a blessing.

Orthros means morning prayer. Divine Liturgy is the central Eucharistic service.
