Good afternoon!
We've received a short-notice invitation from Fr. Sebastien:
<<Hello to all.
This is Fr. Sebastien Scratch from Holy Martyr Peter the Aleut Orthodox Church in Calgary.
With the Blessing from Fr. Phillip
I would like to invite you and your parish for an Akathist to St. Olga of Alaska this evening at Holy Martyr Peter the Aleut at 7pm.
I understand that this is very very last minute, and as Fr. Phillip shared in Scripture “ even until the 11th hour”.
If you are able to share it with your parish, it would be wonderful, so we are able ask St. Olga for her intercession as a larger community in Christ. As we begin our journey towards Great Lent and the Glorious Resurrection of Christ.
Yours in Christ.
