The Trisagion Service can be chanted throughout the year, on any day, at Church or at the gravesite. 

Please contact the Priest if you wish to arrange a Trisagion.

The Church has appointed special dates on Saturdays to commemorate all those who have fallen asleep. At the end of the Liturgy on a Saturday of the Souls (Ψυχοσάββατο) a special Trisagion is chanted and the Priest commemorates at first all the pious orthodox Christians who have fallen asleep. He then commemorates all those names of the departed that are given to him by the people on that day. 

These special Saturdays are nowadays the following:

i) The two Saturdays that precede the Holy and Great Lent 

ii) the first Saturday of the Holy and Great Lent

iii) the Saturday before Pentecost

iv) Also in our Parish we celebrate a special Soul Saturday before the Feast Day of st. Demetrios.

Our Church blesses all the aspects of an Orthodox Christian’s life from their birth to the moment of their passing and beyond. When someone comes into a new home, when they start a new business, when a new family is blessed with the coming of a baby, for all these the Church bestows her blessing to those who ask it. These special Services are done in the house/business or at the Church. Some are don’t with the Sanctification of the Water (Ἁγιασμός), some with a Prayer (Εὐχή).

If you wish to book one of these Services please contact the Priest.
