Throughout our Centennial Jubilee Year, we invite all parish families to participate in ourMonthly Family Memorial Liturgy, a sacred time of prayer, remembrance, and communion with those who have gone before us in faith.In our Syriac tradition, Saturdays are dedicated to the Faithful Departed. This is the day on which the Lord rested after the work of creation, and the day on which He rested in the tomb, descending to Sheol to raise up Adam and all the righteous before His Resurrection. For this reason, Saturday is especially fitting for remembering our beloved dead in hope of the Resurrection.These monthly liturgies are intended to gather families together to commemorate the members of their extended families — those who not only helped found and sustain ourparish, but who have also shaped our lives through their love, sacrifice, and faith over the past century.
