CONTRIBUTION LETTERS If you need a contribution letter, please send an email request to accounting@holytransfiguration.org Please include your full name and address. Sam Hondros will try to respond as quickly as possible
A FRIENDLY REMINDER Please stay home if you are sick. As a church family, we are called to love and protect one another. One of the most loving things you can do during cold/RSV/flu season (or any time you are unwell) is to stay home, participate in services via livestream and rest. If you or a family member are showing signs of illness, please prioritize recovery at home to minimize the risk of spreading the illness to others in our community. We’ll miss you but want everyone to stay healthy.

CONCERNING CONFESSION: Confessions are not available during The Introductory Psalm of Vespers, the Hexapsalm of Orthros, and during any reading from Scripture or homily at any Divine Service, and at Divine Liturgy once the Entrance with the Gospel Book takes place. Please feel free to make arrangements with any of the priests for confession or spiritual counseling at another time.
A REMINDER: When in Church, we are in the presence of the Lord of All, a Place of Awe. We dress and act appropriately. Avoid idle chatter. Please silence cellphones. No recording or photography is allowed without the express permission of the priest. No snacks or drinks in church. Modest, appropriate, respectful attire is the norm. Shorts are not appropriate for adults.
PLANNING ON MARRIAGE AT HOLY TRANSFIGURATION? Please contact the rectory and arrange to meet with Father Mark at least six months before the planned date of the Rite of Crowning or the Blessing of the Marriage for counseling. Participation of the couple in Holy Transfiguration’s two-month marriage preparation program is required prior to the service. Contact the marriage prep team at marriage@holytransfiguration.org as soon as possible.
PLANNING ON A BAPTISM AT HOLY TRANSFIGURATION? Please contact the parish secretary to obtain the required paperwork. Participation of the parents and sponsors (Godparents) in Holy Transfiguration’s pre-baptismal catechesis class is expected prior to scheduling the baptism.
