Mediterranean Festival / 10th Anniversary Gala: As it is the 10th anniversary of our mission this year, we have decided to postpone our festival for this year and hold a gala to celebrate the event instead. The exact date will be announced later but, it will be attended by His Grace Bishop Basil. Raed Salti has volunteered to chair the event and so, if you would like to volunteer to help, or would like more information, please see Raed.

Arabic Classes will start on September 11th. Please click here for more information.

The next bible study will be held on Serptember 4th at 6pm.

Holy Bread: The ladies of the LAS will prepare Holy Bread to order. If you have a memorial service, or have no time to bake Holy Bread, please contact Mrs Georgette: 5 loaves for $25 donation.

Catechumen Classes: Classes continue after Liturgy each Sunday. If you would like to join, or know of anyone who may like to attend, please let father know soonest.

Choir Rehearsal and Liturgical Guidance: Tuesday evening at 7:00pm. All are invited to learn our Liturgical music and join the choir.

Office Hours: As Father may have to leave the office during normal hours, please call either the office (281-240-4845), or Father’s cell phone (713-357-8871) to arrange an appointment.

Confessions: Father is available on Saturday, or at any time by prior appointment. Confessions will not be heard on Sundays.

Visitors and Guests: We welcome you to The Forty Holy Martyrs Mission; a growing pan-Orthodox community in Sugar Land. At the end of the Divine Liturgy you are invited to venerate the Holy Cross and to receive the andidoron (blessed bread). You are also invited to our coffee hour immediately following the Divine Liturgy in the Hall. Please remember that Orthodox Christians practice a closed communion, which means that only baptized or chrismated Orthodox faithful, who have properly prepared themselves, may approach the chalice to receive the Holy Eucharist.
