CHRIST IS RISEN! TRULY HE IS RISEN!
Having beheld the Resurrection of Christ, let us worship the holy Lord Jesus, the Only Sinless One. We worship Thy Cross, O Christ, and Thy holy Resurrection we hymn and glorify, for Thou art our God, and we know none other beside Thee; we call upon Thy name. O come, all ye faithful, let us worship Christ’s holy Resurrection, for, behold, through the Cross joy hath come to all the world. Ever blessing the Lord, we hymn His Resurrection, for having endured crucifixion, He hath destroyed death by death.
Shine, shine, O new Jerusalem, for the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee; dance now, and be glad, O Sion; and do thou exult, O pure Theotokos, in the rising of Him Whom thou didst bear.
O Christ, Thou great and most sacred Pascha! O Wisdom, Word and Power of God! Grant us to partake of Thee more fully in the unwaning day of Thy Kingdom.

Trapeza Interior Progress
The holy brotherhood is happy to announce that we will be using the new Trapeza for the first meal, following the celebration of the Presanctified Liturgy, on Holy and Great Wednesday, April 23rd. The service starts at 6:30 p.m. Although the building will not be finished, we are hoping to have the chandeliers up and most of the painting completed by that date. We appreciate the continued prayerful and financial support of our benefactors.
Building Projects Continue
Progress continues on the monastery’s building project, with the construction of a porch on the south side of the library. In addition, the trapeza
and three new monastic cabins have been insulated, and will be sheet rocked on Thursday, 6 April.
This past weekend, four young visitors help with the clearing of excess building materials around the construction site, all contributing greatly towards our goal of having the grounds and buildings looking beautiful for Pascha.
