Dear St.  Antony Family,

1- Below is the Holy Week Schedule at the monastery:

  • There will be two services in parallel at any given time; one in English only and the other will be mixed languages.
  • Starting the Last Friday of the Great Fast, which is this Friday April 10th, you may click on the links below to stream

2-  We pray that this finds you all in complete health, safety, peace and rest in our Lord Jesus Christ.
While our Church doors may be closed for now, the Church expenses are still there and always ongoing.  Your Tithes and donations are still much needed.  Again, the Church relies heavily on your donations to cover the Church’s ever- expenses.

Also you can use the church Website to donate by Credit card:  http://www.stantonychurch.org/

  

3- These are selected sermons for our spiritual growth:
