Exaltation of the Holy and Life Giving Cross


O Lord, save Thy people,
And bless Thine inheritance.
Grant victories to the Orthodox Christians
Over their adversaries.
And by virtue of Thy Cross,
Preserve Thine habitation.


Troparion, Tone 1

Our commemoration of the Exaltation of the Holy and Life Giving Cross will continue until the leavetaking of the feast on this coming Sunday, September 21. Our schedule for that day will include Adult Education at 9:00 AM, Third Hour Prayers and 9:45 AM, and Typika at 10:00 AM.

In the aftermath of the storms which have devastated so much of the Louisiana and Texas coast, pray for victory over the great adversities which burden so many.
