My name is Fr. Yuri, and welcome to “Unceasing” – the virtual chapel of St Maria of Paris Orthodox Mission in Hamilton, Ontario. St. Maria’s virtual chapel is updated daily to provide you with a living and prayerful community where you can participate in the vibrant and continual prayer life of the Orthodox Church. Not all of us are called to be monastics, but we are all called to pray. “Unceasing” is meant for those who want to experience the dynamism of Orthodox prayer but don’t have easy access to a regularly gathering Orthodox Christian community. Feel free to pray along while on a walk, at work, at home, or anywhere! If you become a subscriber you will receive new services daily which reflect the cycles, themes and musical tones we follow at St. Maria’s. We look forward to having you join us in prayer! As you might imagine, the work that goes into preparing these services is immense. If you’d like to see this virtual chapel continue, and even grow to include even more aspects of Orthodox daily prayer, please consider financially supporting this podcast monthly at patreon.com/unceasingvirtualchapel. May the Lord bless!
