Independence Day

Lord God Almighty, in whose Name the founders of this country won liberty for themselves and for us, and lit the torch of freedom for nations then unborn: Grant, we beseech thee, that we and all the people of this land may have grace to maintain our liberties in righteousness and peace; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

On Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 11:45 a.m clergy will be available for spiritual advice, hearing confessions, healing prayer, and anointing of the sick. If you wish to avail yourself of this opportunity, chairs will be placed at an appropriate distance.  A reminder: now that the church is open Monday – Saturday from 10 AM to 2 PM – you can also make an appointment to see one of the clergy in the Resurrection Chapel.
