Home/Reader Services

To run services at home or as a reader service in the temple, which anybody can do with Father’s blessing, one can use:

  1. Those in their prayer books
  2. Pre-prepared digital service texts from the Archdiocese (scroll down to permanent and seasonal links, they are updated daily)
  3. The Anthologion, which was designed to be approachable for laypersons.
