Girls are invited to wear their festive best, enjoy a special tea party in their honor and participate in a procession during Festal Vespers after the Sunday Divine Liturgy. Everyone is welcome—come celebrate the Theotokos and our daughters! 

Nov. 21 is the Entry of the Theotokos into the Temple, when the Righteous Joachim and Anna brought their long-awaited child Mary in thanksgiving to the Temple of the Lord. In purity of heart and loving trust, she grew up to be the best the human race has to offer, to become the Mother of our God. In addition to our tea party, we will celebrate abbreviated Vespers on Sunday following the Liturgy, and Divine Liturgy at 9:30 AM on Monday, Nov. 21.
