After celebrating Christmas on January 7, the January 2025 Service Schedule enters the 12 festal days of Sviatki, or Christmastide. We will celebrate Theophany on Sunday, 19 January and bless the waters at Ballyconneely, a nearby Atlantic beach.

Shine within our hearts, loving Master, the pure light of Your divine knowledge and open the eyes of our minds that we may comprehend the message of Your Gospel. Instill in us, also, reverence for Your blessed commandments, so that having conquered our sinful desires, we may pursue a spiritual life, thinking and doing all those things that are pleasing to You.
