The following is a calendar of upcoming events that might be of interest to our parishioners. All events will take place in Church or in Center unless noted otherwise.

ANOTHER REMINDER FROM YOUR PASTORS REGARDING HOSPITAL VISITATIONS. 

In the past, clergy used to have access to hospital lists and directories of patients belonging to a given faith.  This allowed us to learn of and visit our hospitalized parishioners.  Due to federal hospital privacy regulations under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, most hospitals are severely restricting our access to such lists or are not placing patients on such lists.  These rules are being enforced now more than ever before.  As we do not have the same access to this information as we once did, we are often unable to visit our parishioners and offer prayers.  As always, we ask all parishioners to call the church office if you, or someone you know, is hospitalized and would like a pastoral visit. We thank you in advance.  -- With prayers and gratitude, Der Arakel and Der Arsen.
