Save this Date!: June 7th, 2026

You are invited to witness a historic moment in the life of our partnership. On this extraordinary day, Bishop Kym Lucas will preside at a Byzantine Rite service with St. Mary Magdalene Equal to the Apostles at St. John Chrysostom Episcopal Church. As far as historical records show, Bishop Kym is believed to be the first woman ever to serve in this role within the Byzantine Rite. This is a remarkable milestone not only for our congregations, but for the wider Church. Come and be part of history in the making within our own St. John Chrysostom - St. Joseph - St. Mary Magdalene Partnership.

Commemorating: Fathers of the First Ecumenical Counsel. Troparion: You are most glorious, O Christ our God! You have established the Holy Fathers as lights on the earth. Through them You have guided us to the true Faith. O greatly compassionate One, glory to You! Kontakion: The Apostles’ preaching and the Fathers’ doctrines have established one Faith for the Church. Adorned with the robe of truth, woven from heavenly theology, It defines and glorifies the great mystery of piety.

Reflection Question: Why do you think we keep on saying a Creed from the 4th century (begun at the Council of Nicaea and finished several decades later at the Council of Constantinople) as our Affirmation of Faith?
