Beginning Nov 27th, through Dec 19th, our parish will be collecting new adult socks for the homeless. Collection boxes will be available in the narthex and social hall. These socks will be given to The Beacon for distribution. The Beacon is a non-profit organization located in the heart of Houston with a mission of providing essential and next-step services to assist the homeless. The Day Center provides meals, laundry, hygiene, and social services to the homeless. See flyers in narthex and parish hall.

According to the forty-day tradition, the Phillip's Fast in preparation for Christmas begins on Monday (Nov 15th). During this fast it was the custom to observe a strict abstinence on Monday, Wednesday and Friday and a lesser abstinence (mitigation for wine and oil) on Tuesday and Thursday. The fast is observed more strictly from December 10 (in some traditions) or from December 20 (in other traditions), with daily strict abstinence, and a mitigated abstinence (wine and oil) on Saturday and Sunday (cf. The Great Fast and the Dormition Fast). The Ruthenian Metropolia has identified this period as a penitential season (Canon 880, § 2). This fast may be observed voluntarily, partially or in its entirety.

One of the most popular and venerated saints of our church is St. Nicholas, the Wonderworker, the Archbishop of Myra in Lycia, Asia Minor. All children, young and old, are invited to welcome the Archbishop of Mira, and Patron of our Byzantine Catholic Church. Please join St. Nicholas in the parish hall after the Divine Liturgy on Sunday, December 5th, and enjoy some special treats.
