Due to the reports we have received of many Orthodox parishes being forced to close the divine services to the public, Archimandrite Seraphim has blessed for the monastery church services to be livestreamed for the duration of this crisis. While viewing the services over the internet is certainly less than ideal, nevertheless it is for now the only way that many of the faithful now have to participate in divine worship. We wish to make our life of prayer for the world, which will continue unabated, available to those confined to their homes or who are otherwise unable to worship in their parish temple during this trying time.
Please feel free to share this news, as well as the schedule and links below, with anyone who might benefit from this ministry.

MOLEBEN IN TIME OF DEVASTATING EPIDEMIC: 3/18 at 12pm Eastern
On Wednesday, March 18 at 12pm Eastern the whole brotherhood will gather to serve a Moleben in Time of Devastating Epidemic to our patron the Holy Great-Martyr and Healer Panteleimon as well as to St. Nikephoros the Leper. This service will likewise be live-streamed for as many of the faithful to join in prayer as possible.
Archbishop Kyrill of San Francisco and Western America writes:
Already reports are coming in that the Archangel Michael has appeared to many people promising them his powerful help. Also, the newly-glorified Saint Nikephoros the Leper has appeared in Greece to a pious Orthodox serviceman and assured him that he will intercede for all who ask his prayers to be protected and healed from the Corona virus.
Wow
What’s the distinction between “With presanctified” and “Without presanctified”?
It refers to days where the Liturgy of the Pre-Sanctified Gifts is served. In the Orthodox Church during Lent the Divine Liturgy (Mass) is not celebrated during weekdays with the exception of the Feast of the Annunciation and Great and Holy Thursday. In order that the faithful are not deprived of the Mystery of the Altar for extended periods of time this liturgy was developed to permit the serving of Holy Communion consecrated at the previous Sunday’s liturgy. Ironically the service was originally developed by Pope St. Gregory of Rome before the schism and when the Western Church still observed mostly the same discipline.
Thanks.
