During the Dormition Fast, we will offer the Paraclesis to the Mother of God each weeknight at 7:00 p.m. That means there will be ten opportunities to participate in this beautiful service and that means all of us should be able to make at least one of those services between Monday, August 2 and Friday, August 13. On the evenings of Friday, August 6, and Friday, August 13, those services will be reserved for the folks who are not yet ready to return to the more crowded services and we will require masks on those two evenings.
