Holy Communion is the culmination of our spiritual effort in this life. Practicing Orthodox Christians, who have prepared for Holy Communion according to the instructions of their own spiritual fathers, are welcome to approach the Chalice at any Divine Liturgy.
Confessions may be heard immediately following Great Vespers on Saturday evening, or by appointment throughout the week. Confessions are not heard on Sunday, on Feastdays, during Holy Week or during the week preceding Christmas, except in case of absolute necessity.
