Annunciation Byzantine Catholic Church Homer Glen, Chicago

Celebrating 25 Years of Vision and Evangelization!

The Great Canon of St Andrew of Crete

Join us on Thursday, April 3rd as we immerse ourselves into the bright sadness of repentance as heard through Biblical accounts of sin and redemption in the hauntingly beautiful melodies of the profoundly moving Byzantine Catholic service of the Great Canon of St Andrew of Crete.

This service will last about four hours and you are welcome to stay for any portion of it. There will also be confession available throughout the evening. As part of the service, you will also hear the profoundly moving account of the life of St Mary of Egypt. Follow this desert saint on her journey from a habitually proud sinner to a levitating desert saint. St Mary of Egypt is a moving example of Metanoia and how this spiritual growth is possible even for the worst of sinners.
