For the past few months, Metropolises across the Archdiocese have been researching resources to bring Mental Health awareness to our youth. We have found a great resource in the American Red Cross, whose class Mental Health First Aid, has now added models about COVID- 19. The class is currently FREE and is accessible by clicking this post.
I come with important updates about our Metropolis of Atlanta's Coronavirus (COVID-19) protocols. Firstly, to both our Clergy and Laity, please accept my sincere congratulations for your devotion to your fellow brothers and sisters in Christ, and for your continued patience.
We have been preparing for weeks for the most sacred time of year, Holy Week and Pascha. We have fasted, given to those in need, and increased our prayer life. However due to the Covid-19 pandemic, we are left feeling anxious, fearful for the health of our loved ones and ourselves, missing the sacramental life of our beloved church. We must know even in the midst of this pandemic, HOLY WEEK still happens! The RESURRECTION still happens! Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ tramples death by death for us to receive eternal life in His Heavenly Kingdom! This “Holy Week at Home Kit” may seem a little unorthodox but our hope it that it provides you and your family with all the tools necessary to still have an orthodox experience with the hope and love that is felt during this sacred week.
The Metropolis is pleased to inform the faithful that, on Orthodox Palm Sunday, the news program 60 Minutes is featuring a segment on the rebuilding of St. Nicholas.
