During the Dormition Fast, we offer The Paraclesis to the Mother of God each week night between Monday, August 1 and Friday, August 12. That means, this year, there will be ten opportunities to participate in this lovely service. That also means all of us should be able to be present at least once during the fast. So, please look at your calendar and make plans to join us as we ask the Most Holy Theotokos for her intercessions.
