Glory to Jesus Christ! Glory Forever!
December 23 is the fourth Pre-festive Day of the Nativity. On this day the Orthodox Church commemorates the Holy Ten Martyrs of Crete.
Today's prescribed readings are 1 Timothy 6:17-20 and Mark 10:17-27.

The St. Panteleimon Ministry serves senior living communities (nursing homes, assisted living, independent living, memory care, etc.) throughout Northeast Ohio. Prior to March 2020, we frequently held Orthodox group prayer services, like the one in this video, at various locations in our area. From 2010-2020 the ministry held more than 2,600 services for those who cannot get to church on a regular basis. By the Grace of God, in-person services with our residents have resumed as of October 20, 2021. We pray that this form of ministry will gradually increase and ultimately equal or exceed what we were able to do prior to the pandemic. Regardless of the status of the in-person ministry, it is our intention to continue providing prayer service videos for our residents, shut-ins with computer access, and to the general public.
