Service of Proskomide

Since the early Church, the Office of Oblation (Proskomide) has been a service of offering    gifts to God in preparation for the Sacrament of Holy Eucharist or Holy Communion in the  Divine Liturgy. The congregation gives the names of the living and dead for whom they  want the priest to pray. Please present the name(s) to be commemorated to the sexton in the narthex at the beginning of the Orthros Service.

Artoklasia

Artoklasia, which means “breaking of bread” is a special prayer service offered by an individual or family typically on a Feast day or special family occasion. The service takes place at the end of the Divine Liturgy or at Great Vespers. The five loaves are reminiscent of the five loaves that Jesus Christ blessed in the desert and by which five thousand of His followers were fed. Please call the church office at 978-531-0777 to schedule an Artoklasia.
