We would like to remind you that from February 27th until April 15th, we are in the Great Lent. Every Christian is urged to refrain from eating meat and dairy, as well as from wrongful deeds and thoughts. By restraining themselves this way, Christians can delve deeper into the work of the salvation of their souls, which involves repentance, prayer, and almsgiving.

In addition to physical and spiritual fasting dedicated to the Lord's Passion and Resurrection, we urge you to come to the seat of Holy Confession. Only by confessing sins and fulfilling the appropriate Canon can Christians free themselves from the chains of sins and passions, thus coming clean and shining before the Holy Communion.

We would also like to remind you that every Saturday of the Great Lent (immediately after the Holy Liturgy), we will have a memorial service for the reposed.

The confession program will take place before or after the Holy services and at the special request of the faithful. 

On Sunday, March 26, 2023, Holy Cross Romanian Orthodox Church honored the Annunciation Feast Day!

This special event started with the 9am Divine Liturgy. A lunch followed, in the beautiful setting of our church's orchard. Parisheners and friends had the opportunity to enjoy delicious traditional Romanian foods and homemade desserts, prepared by our dedicated Ladies Auxiliary Group. Meanwhile, they supported a great cause: all proceeds go towards the construction of our recently approved Community Center & Rectory.
