AUGUST FAST FOR THE FEAST OF THE DORMITION OF THE MOTHER OF GOD

Dear Parishioners and friends of St Ioannis, Parramatta


As you know, the first 2 weeks of August are a very holy time of the year, devoted to Panagia, the Mother of God, whose feast we celebrate on 15 August.   During these 2 weeks we are encouraged to reflect,  prepare for Holy Communion with repentance and Confession, pray earnestly, etc.  It is also a time of fasting.  In our Church, every weekday evening, 6 – 7pm, we have a Supplication Service (Parakysis) to the Mother of God (except for Wednesday 5th August because that evening there will be a vespers service at the Church of the Transfiguration in Earlwood, and on 14th August, the eve of the great feast of the Dormition, we will have at our Church vespers and then the service of Holy  Unction).
