Welcome
The Orthodox Church is the church founded by
our Lord Jesus Christ and through which He
continues to bestow His blessings and grace
upon mankind. ‘Orthodoxy’ means ‘right belief’
or ‘correct glory’–-the Orthodox Church has
faithfully preserved those traditions and
teachings handed down from Jesus Christ to His
Apostles to their successors from generation to
generation. This care for the traditions of our
fathers is motivated by love and fidelity to the
truth and Divine origin of our faith.

Fourth Sunday of Lent
Our venerable and God-bearing Father John Climacus (ca. 579 -
649), also known as John of the Ladder, John Scholasticus, and
John Sinaites, was a seventh century monk at St. Catherine's
monastery at the base of Mount Sinai. In Greek, his epithet is
Κλιμακος (Klimakos). The Orthodox Church celebrates his feast
day on March 30.
He came to the monastery and became a novice when he was about
16 years old, and when he died in 649 he was the monastery's abbot.
He wrote a number of instructive books, the most famous of which
is The Ladder of Divine Ascent. (It is because of this book that
John is known as "Climacus," which means "of the ladder".) It
describes how to raise one's soul to God, as if on a ladder. This
book is one of the most widely read among Eastern Orthodox
Christians, especially during the season of Great Lent which
immediately precedes Pascha (Easter), and on the fourth Sunday of
Great Lent he is especially commemorated.
