Reopening of the Cathedral - 06/01/2020
Through God's mercy, the governor's quarantine order has been partially lifted and the Church now has the opportunity to gradually return to public services. Having been deprived of the opportunity to pray together, we can now renew and strengthen our private prayer and contemplate the value of the Divine Services. Notwithstanding the ability to return to the temple, we cannot forget that the threat to the lives and health of people still exists. Accordingly, we must observe the following rules: 1. Maximal occupancy of the Cathedral is now set at 50-55 people and to be able to attend services, we ask that you sign up in advance on our website... 00001
