Daily Reflection & Updated on Holy Week Schedule – April 15, 2020

April 15, 2020

Please watch the video below for a daily reflection from Fr. Don and see updates below the video including the schedule for Holy Week. You can also view the reading of the Twelve Passion Gospels by members of the Parish.

 

Dear Parish Family and Friends,

Hopefully, everyone received the parish bulletin sent to your home this week. I have enclosed a couple of additional items and details surrounding the remaining parish schedule. The ‘STAY AT HOME’ guidelines will remain in place until notified. The Toledo Diocese directives must continue:

1.) All parishes and missions shall have no more than 5 people total including Father. Rotating schedules are NOT to be employed.

2.) A thorough disinfection of the Church shall be conducted after each service.

3.) Parishioners shall be instructed to remain at home. Services can be viewed via streaming on our St. Elia parish website.

4.) The doors of our Church are to be locked.

5.) The Church building shall not be opened for any purposes outside of scheduled Liturgical services.

6.) In regard to CONFESSION, please contact Fr. Don 330 472-6456.

HOLY WEEK AND PASCHA: ALL OF OUR SERVICES WILL BE STREAMED

Please…cease ‘all your earthly cares’ and pray together in the remaining Holy Week Services and to continue our journey with Christ in His death and glorious Resurrection!

HOLY THURSDAY, APRIL 16

The 12 Gospels are pre-recorded readings beginning with Father Don and followed by Deacon James and parishioners. A link will be posted on our Parish website and Facebook page. It will be on our parish YouTube channel. Any questions or difficulty with accessing the video please contact Veronica and/or Ana.

GREAT AND HOLY FRIDAY, APRIL 17 – 6 PM VESPERS

Stream live on our website or on YouTube.

PASCHA, SUNDAY, APRIL 19th SCHEDULE:
9:30 AM DIVINE LITURGY

Stream live on our website or on YouTube.

11:15 AM – Bring your Pascha Basket for blessing-in the parish parking lot. Place your basket in your opened car truck and remain in your car. Father will say the prayers from the ‘fire escape’ balcony.
