Sermon Library: Recorded Sermons!

Father Tom is now recording his sermons, and we’re posting them to our Sermon Library.

We expect to continue recording all sermons given at Ascension Cathedral, so the Sermon Library will be the place to download or listen to those.

We are also posting transcripts of these sermons, for those who prefer to read them. These will be posted within a day or so of the sermon audio files. You will need the Adobe Acrobat Reader in order to read these files.

A link to the Sermon Library may permanently be found beneath the calendar on the Home page of the Ascension Cathedral website, as well.

Light a Candle!

Have you ever wanted to just come by the church to light a candle & pray for someone? Feel like you don’t have time to come all the way to church to do this? Well now you can do it online! The American Carpatho-Russian Orthodox Diocese of the USA has an online candle lighting program that anyway can use, at any time! Just click on the picture below! God Bless you and may Christ our Lord & Savior and all of the saints intercede for us!

Instructions: When you get to the website linked below, you will see a stand with candles on it, and candelabras with a lit candle. Please click on one of the candles on the stand, and then “light” it (place the head of the candle next to the lit candle), and then “place” your lit candle “into” the sand (the bottom of the lit candle must be touching the sand).
