Paraklesis Services: During the first fifteen days of August, the Church sets aside time for the chanting of the Small Paraklesis Service. During the service we honor the Theotokos and ask for her intercessions for those who are living. If you would like to submit names to be read, please list the Baptismal First Names ONLY (for example, Nicholas – not Niko) of those living, and return them to the Parish office by August 1st.
