DIVINE LITURGY SCHEDULE:

Pursuant to the Phased Reopening ordered by Governor Baker on May 18, 2020 and modified on December 26, 2020 in which the Governor allowed certain limited public gatherings, we have been allowed to once again gather in person for the celebration of the Divine Liturgy. We are limited to no more than 53 people at a celebration of the Divine Liturgy. Our Parishioners have received information on how to register to attend a Divine Liturgy at OLOP. We continue to encourage those over 65 years of age and those with a medical condition to continue to socially distance in order to protect their health. We encourage everyone to join us on our weekly Live Stream of the 10:30 AM Sunday Liturgy via Zoom and Facebook Live.
