In this adult class, Mr. Anthony Ally guides us through the Orthodox path to cultivating inner peace amid the turmoil of the world. Drawing from Scripture, the lives of the saints, and the Church’s ascetical wisdom, we explore how humility, stillness, and prayer anchor the soul in Christ—the Prince of Peace—even in times of war and unrest.

In this homily on June 15th, 2025, Fr. Michael Matsko reflects on how the Divine Liturgy itself is the true catechism of the Church. Drawing upon the profound insights of Fr. Alexander Schmemann, he shows how every word, gesture, and hymn of the Liturgy teaches us not only about God, but invites us into communion with Him. More than information, it is formation—a lived theology that shapes our hearts and reveals the Kingdom.

At Vespers on June 14th, 2025, Fr. Michael Matsko offered a powerful reflection on the Gift of Holy Baptism, emphasizing that its eternal substance—our union with Christ, death to sin, and rebirth in the Holy Spirit—far surpasses any external form. He reminded us that the mystery lies not in ritual alone, but in the transformative grace it bestows.

In this adult study, Mr. Anthony Ally leads a powerful and grace-filled discussion on healing from depression through the Orthodox lens. Drawing on the lives of the Saints, the wisdom of the Fathers, and his own journey, he explores how humility and grace—not self-condemnation—are the true spiritual opposites of depressive thoughts. Together we reflect on how the Orthodox path offers healing by helping us replace inner accusation with the peace and light of Christ.

This Pentecost, Fr. Stephen preaches on the descent of the Holy Spirit not only as the birth of the Church, but as a divine call to see every human being as made in the Image and Likeness of God. Just as the Spirit came upon people of all nations and tongues, so too are we invited to look past divisions and see the sacred imprint of God in each person.

This Sunday, we reflect on the courage of the Holy Fathers who, filled with the grace of the Holy Spirit, stood boldly against the heresy of Arius at the First Ecumenical Council. Just as they defended the truth of Christ in their time, we too are called to stand firm against the heresies of our own day—including the lies promoted during so-called “Pride” celebrations. Let us, like the Fathers, proclaim the unchanging truth of the Gospel with love, clarity, and unwavering faithfulness to Christ.

In this engaging and spiritually enriching class, Mr. Anthony Ally delves into the profound importance of the Ecumenical Councils in the life of the Orthodox Church. These councils, inspired and upheld by the grace of the Holy Spirit, were not merely historical gatherings—they were divinely guided moments that preserved the true doctrine of Christ, upheld the unity of the Church, and protected the faithful from heresy and confusion. Mr. Ally will explore how the grace given through these councils continues to shape our faith today, why their decisions are binding and life-giving, and how they remain a crucial part of our journey toward salvation. Whether you are new to Orthodoxy or seeking a deeper understanding, this class offers essential insights into the foundations of our Holy Tradition.

In this homily for the Sunday of the Blind Man, Fr. Stephen reflects on Christ’s healing as a sign not just of physical restoration, but of spiritual sight. We are reminded that just as the blind man boldly proclaimed Christ before others, we too are called to bear witness and preach the Gospel to all nations — beginning with the world right around us.
