To allow as many people as possible to come to the Bookstore the following guidelines have been established:
• A maximum of two customers in the bookstore at a time.
• Limit your browsing to 15 minutes so others will have an opportunity to shop.
• Follow all COVID-19 protocols, including wearing a mask that covers your nose and mouth and sanitizing your hands upon entry.
We hope to provide additional opportunities for our parishioners to support the St. Mary’s Bookstore.

As an effort to accommodate our large congregation during this time, we will be offering the Divine Liturgy on Saturdays as well as Sundays for the upcoming weeks. Please note that we request pre-registration for all attending Liturgy on either Saturday or Sunday.

Saturdays will begin with Orthros at 9:00 a.m. followed by Liturgy at 10:00 a.m.

The Sunday schedule remains the same as always, Orthros at 8:30 a.m. and Liturgy at 9:30 a.m. The Sunday Liturgy will be live-streamed on our YouTube channel.

Please watch your e-mails for the weekly sign up to attend a Liturgy.

As our world continues to face uncertain and challenging times, we at St. Mary’s want our parishioners and friends to know that we are here for you. At the present time, and until further notice, the church, building, and office are open during weekday business hours (Monday-Friday, 8:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m.). We invite all who find a need, to stop in, light a candle, and spend some time in God’s House, praying or simply spending a few quiet moments away from the news and the outside world. If you have questions or concerns, please give us a call, 612.825.9595.

In-person worship at St. Mary’s has resumed. Each week an e-mail with sign up links is sent to our parishioners to register to attend a weekend Liturgy.
The weekday liturgies and other services do not require pre-registration unless otherwise noted.

Even though we have returned to in-person worship, not all may feel comfortable worshiping in such a setting. So that all may stay a part of our community, we will continue to live-streaming the Sunday Liturgy on our YouTube channel. A number of services and features have been recorded and are available on the channel. We encourage everyone to subscribe! Videos of services, story time for young kids, and messages from the clergy are found there.

For those who wish to worship at home, we offer a number of resources on the Stay Connected page of our website.
