Weekly Schedule

Grace and peace to you all,

This Sunday, the Church celebrates the Feast of the Holy Cross.

In our Coptic Orthodox Church, we celebrate the Feast of the Cross of our Lord Jesus Christ twice each year: on Tout 17 and on Baramhat 10.

As we celebrate this blessed feast, may we remember the precious sacrifice of our Lord Jesus Christ and rejoice in the power and glory of His Holy Cross.

📖 The Gospel reading for this Sunday’s Divine Liturgy is from St. John 10:22-38. 

“My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand.”  John 10:27-28
