LIVE Daily Vespers on Tuesday evening, October 6, 2026, for the feast of Saints Sergius and Bacchus the Holy Great Martyrs, from at Saint Mark Greek Orthodox Church in Boca Raton, Florida. On this evening, we gather for Daily Vespers as the Church transitions into the liturgical day of October 7th, honoring the holy Great Martyrs Sergius and Bacchus. Officers in the Roman army during the reign of Emperor Maximian, Saints Sergius and Bacchus held high positions of rank and trust in the imperial court. When revealed as devout Christians, they refused to offer sacrifice to pagan idols, choosing instead to suffer public humiliation, torture, and martyrdom rather than deny their Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. The serene hymns and petitions of Vespers mark the hour of sunset, inviting us to offer our evening thanksgivings to God and to seek the powerful intercession of Saints Sergius and Bacchus. We invite you to join our parish family in prayer, contemplating their heroic courage and praying for spiritual steadfastness, divine grace, and strength in our daily lives. **Today, we commemorate:** Sergius and Bacchus, Holy Great Martyrs Polychronios, Holy Martyr Julian and Caesarius, Holy Martyrs Sergius the Obedient of the Kyiv Caves Our Eastern Orthodox service is conducted primarily in English and Greek and streamed live from Saint Mark Greek Orthodox Church in Boca Raton, Florida.

LIVE Divine Liturgy of Saint John Chrysostom on the 2nd Sunday of Luke from Saint Mark Greek Orthodox Church in Boca Raton, Florida. On this second Sunday of Luke, we gather to reflect on the Golden Rule and Christ’s radical call to divine mercy and love, as proclaimed in the Holy Gospel according to Saint Luke. The Savior commands His disciples: "As you wish that men would do to you, do so to them," elevating human righteousness far beyond mere worldly reciprocity. Christ challenges us to love our enemies, do good without expecting anything in return, and lend hoping for no repayment, revealing that true Christian virtue reflects the very nature of God, who is kind to the ungrateful and the selfish. The scripture readings of this Divine Liturgy remind us that our heavenly Father calls us to be merciful, just as He is merciful. In the Epistle reading from Saint Paul's Second Letter to the Corinthians, we are encouraged to sow bountifully and give with cheerful hearts, trusting that God will supply and multiply our seed for righteousness. We invite you to join our parish family as we worship together, give thanks for God’s unconditional grace, and pray for the spiritual strength to love without limits in our daily lives. **Readings:** Epistle Reading: 2 Corinthians 9:6-11 Gospel Reading: Luke 6:31-36 **Today, we commemorate:** 2nd Sunday of Luke Hierotheos, Bishop of Athens Hieromartyr Peter of Capitolia Domnina, Berenice, and Prosdoce, Holy Martyrs of Syria Audactus and his daughter Callisthene of Ephesus Our Eastern Orthodox service is conducted primarily in English and Greek and streamed live from Saint Mark Greek Orthodox Church in Boca Raton, Florida.

LIVE Daily Vespers on Tuesday evening, September 29, 2026, for the feast of Saint Gregory, Enlightener and Hieromartyr of Greater Armenia, served at Saint Mark Greek Orthodox Church in Boca Raton, Florida. On this evening, we gather for Daily Vespers as the Church transitions into the liturgical day of September 30, honoring Saint Gregory, Bishop and Enlightener of Greater Armenia. In the early fourth century, Saint Gregory endured years of severe persecution and imprisonment in a pit for his unwavering devotion to Christ. Through his steadfast witness, heroic endurance, and divine grace, he eventually healed and converted King Trdat III, leading to the baptism of the royal house and the entire nation of Armenia as the first country to officially adopt Christianity. The serene hymns and petitions of Vespers mark the sunset hour, inviting us to offer our evening thanksgivings to God and seek the intercessions of Saint Gregory and the holy martyrs. We invite you to join our parish family in prayer, contemplating Saint Gregory's unyielding faith and praying for spiritual endurance, divine light, and wisdom in our daily lives. Readings: Psalm 103 (104) Today, we commemorate: Hieromartyr Gregory, Enlightener of Greater Armenia Rhipsime, Gaiana, and the 32 Monastic Women Martyrs of Armenia Stratonicus, Mardonius, and the 1,000 Martyrs of Armenia Our Eastern Orthodox service is conducted primarily in English and Greek and streamed live from Saint Mark Greek Orthodox Church in Boca Raton, Florida.

Focusing on the First Sunday of Luke and the miraculous catch of fish, Father Mark Leondis shares an uplifting message about the limitless patience and love of Christ, who joyfully meets us in our curiosity and seeking. He begins with Leo Tolstoy’s moving story, Where Love Is, God Is, illustrating how a humble cobbler sought Christ and found Him in the everyday strangers who needed mercy, warmth, and forgiveness. Turning to the Gospel, Father Mark reflects on Simon Peter, who had labored all night without catching a single fish, yet chose to trust Jesus' command and cast out his nets once more into the deep. Saint Peter's faithful declaration, "At Your word, I will let down the net," brought a staggering, net-breaking harvest, showing that when we open our lives to Christ's call in our ordinary routines, He transforms our exhaustion into an abundance of grace. The message's atmosphere is one of profound encouragement, urging the faithful to live as "Resurrection People" who radiate the light of Pascha in everything they do. Father Mark points to the vibrant, tangible moves of the Holy Spirit at Saint Mark Greek Orthodox Church, including welcoming thirty new catechumens, celebrating multiple baptisms and weddings, and honoring the parish Philoptochos chapter for receiving the National Agape Award for outstanding philanthropy. He calls the Boca Raton community to adopt Saint Peter's spirit of obedience, repeating "At Your word, O Lord" whenever invited to welcome a newcomer, comfort someone carrying a hidden burden, or serve the parish in a fresh capacity. The sermon concludes with a triumphant call to open our doors, cast our nets, and heed Christ's invitation to become active fishers of men in our daily lives. This sermon was delivered live from Saint Mark Greek Orthodox Church in Boca Raton, Florida, on September 27th, 2026.

LIVE Matins & Divine Liturgy of Saint John Chrysostom on the 1st Sunday of Luke from Saint Mark Greek Orthodox Church in Boca Raton, Florida. On this first Sunday of Luke, we gather to reflect on the Miraculous Catch of Fish, as recounted in the Holy Gospel according to Saint Luke. After laboring all night on the Lake of Gennesaret without catching a single thing, Simon Peter and his fellow fishermen were commanded by Christ to put out into the deep and let down their nets once more. Trusting in the Lord's word despite their exhaustion, they enclosed such a vast multitude of fish that their nets began to break and their boats began to sink. Overwhelmed by the holiness and divine authority of Christ, Peter fell at Jesus' knees crying, "Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, O Lord," to which the Savior gently replied, "Do not be afraid; from now on you will catch men". The hymns and scripture readings of this Divine Liturgy challenge us to examine our own trust in God's providence. When we rely solely on human effort and material wisdom, we so often find ourselves empty; yet when we surrender our wills to Christ and act upon His word, He transforms our scarcity into overflowing spiritual abundance. We invite you to join our parish family as we worship together, give thanks for God's endless mercy, and pray for the faith to leave behind our earthly anxieties and follow Him without hesitation. **Readings:** Matins Gospel Reading: Luke 24:36-53 (6th Orthros Gospel) Epistle Reading: 2 Corinthians 6:16-18; 7:1 Gospel Reading: Luke 5:1-11 **Today, we commemorate:** 1st Sunday of Luke Callistratus the Holy Martyr and his 49 Companions Mark, Aristarchus, and Zenas the Holy Apostles of the Seventy Aquilina the New Martyr of Thessaloniki Epicharida the Holy Martyr Our Eastern Orthodox service is conducted primarily in English and Greek and streamed live from Saint Mark Greek Orthodox Church in Boca Raton, Florida.

Florence was predeceased in death by her parents, beloved husband George, son Daniel, son-in-law William (Bill) Johnson, brother Dimitre (Jimmy) Suciu (Valerie), brother Louis Suciu (MaryAnn), brother-in-law John Manica, sister-in-law Marioara Manica, nephews Randy Suciu, Dr. John Manica, great-nephew Andrew (Drew) Suciu, and niece Janet Suciu. After completing her education, Florence accepted a job at Briggs Manufacturing, where she helped build engines for World War II. During that time period, she met the love of her life, Sgt. George Pavel. They were married May 25, 1946, in the first Romanian Orthodox Church built in Detroit, Michigan, St. George, and remained devoted to each other for 64 years until George fell asleep in the Lord in 2010. Suzette's and Rhonda's mother was not only beautiful (she placed 2nd in the Miss Michigan Beauty Pageant at 20), but also very talented. As a licensed cosmetologist, Florence owned and operated Florence's Salon of Beauty in Detroit, which she sold after eleven years so she could stay home and raise her children. While her children were in school, she attended classes and became a floral designer. Her beautiful arrangements have graced the homes of people who browsed in the shop and admired her talent and creativity. Proverbs 31: 10-31 is a fitting biblical portrait of how Florence lived her life, exemplifying all of the characteristics depicted in the verses: Compassionate, Dignified and Strong, Industrious and Entrepreneurial, Wise and Kind. Florence was a sweet, kind woman who touched the lives of all that knew her. She was strong yet gentle, with unwavering compassion and love for others. She faced every situation with faith and confidence, trusting God to guide her way. Florence was a devout Orthodox Christian and was honored to serve as a longtime steward at Saint Mark Greek Orthodox Church in Boca Raton, Florida. Her Saint Mark Family and Philoptochos Sisters offered prayers, support, and encouragement during three of the most challenging events of her life. Florence overcame obstacles due to her Faith in the Lord and the continuous support of the Clergy and the Faithful members of Saint Mark. In lieu of flowers, kindly make memorial donations to Saint Mark Greek Orthodox Church. May her memory be eternal and may she rest with our Risen Lord.

Focusing on the Gospel reading for the Sunday after the Exaltation of the Holy Cross, Father Mark Leondis shares an uplifting message about the limitless patience and love of Christ, who joyfully meets us in our curiosity and seeking. He reflects on Jesus' soul-searching question, "For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his life?" Father Mark contrasts the temporary nature of earthly pursuits—our homes, careers, bank accounts, and worldly ambitions—with the eternal reality of our souls. Pointing to the saints depicted across the sanctuary, including the Virgin Mary and Saint Mark the Evangelist, he emphasizes that true fulfillment comes from choosing what lasts. He issues a direct, passionate call for the congregation at Saint Mark Greek Orthodox Church to take their faith more seriously, urging them to let Christ shape their schedules, homes, and daily priorities rather than giving God whatever time remains. The message's atmosphere is one of profound encouragement, urging the faithful to live as "Resurrection People" who radiate the light of Pascha in everything they do. Father Mark speaks directly to parents and grandparents, highlighting the crucial role of parish youth programs—from Sunday school and GOYA to athletics and retreats—in giving children strong spiritual roots and genuine Christian community. He cautions that children learn what truly matters by observing where their parents spend time, urging families to prioritize Sunday worship over sports leagues and secular distractions. Reminding the Boca Raton community that everything we own will eventually pass into someone else's hands, Father Mark delivers a triumphant call to invest in prayer, marriages, generosity, and service, ensuring we never become so busy building an earthly life that we forget to build an eternal soul. This sermon was delivered live from Saint Mark Greek Orthodox Church in Boca Raton, Florida, on September 20th, 2026.

LIVE Matins & Divine Liturgy of Saint John Chrysostom on the Sunday after Holy Cross from Saint Mark Greek Orthodox Church in Boca Raton, Florida. On this Sunday after the Elevation of the Holy Cross, we gather to continue our contemplation of the saving power of the Precious Cross of Our Lord, God, and Savior Jesus Christ. As proclaimed in the Holy Gospel according to Saint Mark, the Savior issues a timeless call to every disciple: "If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me." Christ reminds us that true life is not preserved by clinging to temporal comforts or earthly gains, but by surrendering our lives for His sake and the Gospel's, asking the profound question, "For what does it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul?" The scripture readings of this Divine Liturgy illuminate the profound relationship between faith and the Cross. In the Epistle reading from Saint Paul’s Letter to the Galatians, we are reminded that "a man is not justified by the works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ," as the Apostle boldly proclaims, "I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me." We invite you to join our parish family as we worship together, draw strength from the Life-Giving Cross, and pray for the faith to follow Christ wholeheartedly in our daily lives.

Live Great Vespers of Saint Euphemia the All-Famed Great Martyr from Saint Mark Greek Orthodox Church in Boca Raton, Florida. On this evening, we gather for Great Vespers to honor the holy, glorious, and all-famed Great Martyr Euphemia. Martyred in Chalcedon under Emperor Diocletian around 304 AD, Saint Euphemia revealed the power of divine grace through her extraordinary endurance amid severe torture. She is especially revered throughout the Orthodox world for the miracle that occurred centuries later during the Fourth Ecumenical Council in Chalcedon (451 AD). When the Orthodox and Monophysite bishops placed their respective confessions of faith in her tomb, the saint miraculously opened it to hand the Orthodox confession to Patriarch Anatolius while placing the other at her feet, confirming the true faith of Christ's two natures. The solemn hymns and Old Testament readings of Great Vespers invite us to seek Saint Euphemia's powerful intercessions and follow her courage in standing firm for the Orthodox faith. We invite you to join our parish family as we offer our evening prayers, celebrate her holy memory, and pray for strength, spiritual clarity, and guidance in our daily life. Readings: Vespers Old Testament Reading 1: Isaiah 43:9-14 Vespers Old Testament Reading 2: Wisdom of Solomon 3:1-9 Vespers Old Testament Reading 3: Wisdom of Solomon 5:15-24; 6:1-3 Today, we commemorate: Saint Euphemia the Holy Great Martyr & All-Famed Ludmila, Martyr & Grandmother of Saint Wenceslaus Melitina, Holy Martyr of Marcianopolis Dorotheos the Righteous of Egypt Our Eastern Orthodox service is conducted primarily in English and Greek and streamed live from Saint Mark Greek Orthodox Church in Boca Raton, Florida.

On the Sunday before the Exaltation of the Holy Cross, Father Mark Leondis shares an uplifting message about Christ's limitless patience and love, who joyfully meets us in our curiosity and seeking. He reflects on how sudden tragedies, personal heartbreaks, and moments of national memory like September 11th can instantly cast us into an unexpected wilderness. Connecting the Gospel of Saint John to the Old Testament account of Moses lifting up the bronze serpent, Father Mark explains that when the poisons of life—fear, anxiety, resentment, sin, or grief—threaten to consume us, God’s directive is simple and direct: look up. He emphasizes that the Holy Cross stands at the very center of the Orthodox faith not to deny human suffering, but to demonstrate that suffering, death, and poison never have the final word because Christ has entered and conquered them from within. The message's atmosphere is one of profound encouragement, urging the faithful to live as "Resurrection People" who radiate the light of Pascha in everything they do. Father Mark invokes Saint John Chrysostom, who called the Cross the trophy against demons and the sword against sin, reminding the parish at Saint Mark Greek Orthodox Church that the true Christian answer to darkness and hatred is sacrificial love, service, and courage. He cautions that all parish programs, youth gatherings, and ministries must serve a higher purpose beyond administrative success; they must actively build disciples and direct souls toward Christ. Concluding with a triumphant call to action, Father Mark urges the Boca Raton community to stop endlessly analyzing their wounds and instead fix their eyes on the Cross, where weakness is transformed into strength, failure into repentance, and death into eternal life.

LIVE Divine Liturgy of Saint John Chrysostom on the Elevation of the Venerable and Life-Giving Cross from Saint Mark Greek Orthodox Church in Boca Raton, Florida. On this great and holy feast day, one of the Twelve Great Feasts of the Church, we gather to exalt and venerate the Precious and Life-Giving Cross of Our Lord, God, and Savior Jesus Christ. This feast commemorates two pivotal historical events: the finding of the True Cross in Jerusalem by Saint Helen, mother of Emperor Constantine, in 326 AD, and the recovery and restoration of the Cross to Jerusalem by Emperor Heraclius in 629 AD after it had been captured by the Persians. As Patriarch Macarius elevated the Holy Cross high above the people in Jerusalem, the faithful fell to their knees in awe, crying out "Kyrie eleison" ("Lord, have mercy"). The hymns and scripture readings of this Divine Liturgy proclaim that the Cross, once an instrument of shame and execution, has been transformed into the ultimate symbol of divine love, victory over death, and salvation for all mankind. As Saint Paul declares, "The message of the Cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God". On this strict fast day, we are invited to bow before the Holy Cross, receive its strengthening grace, and take up our own daily crosses with faith, humility, and steadfast hope. We invite you to join our parish family as we offer our praise, venerate the Precious Cross, and pray for God's mercy and protection over the entire world. Readings: Epistle Reading: 1 Corinthians 1:18-24 Gospel Reading: John 19:6-11, 13-20, 25-28, 30-35 Today, we commemorate: The Universal Exaltation of the Venerable and Life-Giving Cross Commemoration of the Sixth Ecumenical Council (680-681 AD) Plaphas, Holy Martyr Our Eastern Orthodox service is conducted primarily in English and Greek and streamed live from Saint Mark Greek Orthodox Church in Boca Raton, Florida.

As proclaimed in the Holy Gospel according to Saint John, "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." Just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness to heal the Israelites, Christ was lifted up on the Cross so that all who look to Him in faith may be healed from the sting of sin and granted eternal life.

We are called to boast in nothing save the Cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which we are made a new creation. We invite you to join our parish family as we worship together, give thanks for the depth of God’s boundless love, and pray for the faith to carry our own crosses in steadfast devotion to the Savior.

On this great and glorious feast day, the first major feast of the Church New Year, we gather to celebrate the birth of our Most Holy Lady, the Theotokos and Ever-Virgin Mary. Born to the righteous, elderly, and once-barren Joachim and Anna in answer to their faithful prayers, Mary's birth shines forth as the dawn preceding the Sun of Righteousness, Jesus Christ. Her miraculous birth marks the beginning of the realization of God’s eternal plan for the salvation of humankind, bringing an end to the barrenness of human nature and preparing the holy vessel through whom the Son of God would take flesh. The hymns and prayers of this Divine Liturgy proclaim that in her birth, joy is announced to the entire universe. As we honor the Mother of Life, we are invited to dedicate our own lives anew to Christ, opening our hearts to God’s transforming grace and seeking the unfailing intercessions of the Panagia. We invite you to join our parish family as we offer our praise and worship, glorify the birth of the Ever-Virgin Mary, and pray for her spiritual comfort, guidance, and protection in our lives.
