"Repentance is the renewal of baptism." ~ St. John Climacus

As we navigate the Great Fast, don't miss the opportunity for spiritual healing. The Sacrament of Confession is a powerful way to experience God's mercy and lighten your heart.

Father Nikolas is available for all Orthodox Christians who wish to participate in this sacred act of forgiveness. Please connect with him in person, at the parish office, or via email (fathernikolas@prophetelias.org) to arrange a time.
