An omission of several words in the Church Slavonic text of the priestly prayer at the Epiclesis has been brought to our attention.

On p. 184, the text of the priest's prayer reads:

Сего ради, владыко пресвятый, и мы грешнiй, и недостойнiи раби твои, сподобльшiйся служити святому твоему жертвеннику, не ради милости твоея и щедрот твоихъ....

This text omits a key phrase, thereby reversing the meaning of the sentеnce. It also includes typographical errors in the words грешнiи and сподобльшiися. The correct text should read:

Сего ради, владыко пресвятый, и мы грешнiи, и недостойнiи раби твои, сподобльшiися служити святому твоему жертвеннику, не ради правдъ нашихъ, не бо сотворихомъ что благо на земли, но ради милости твоея и щедрот твоихъ....

We have prepared a sticker that can be placed over the page in question to correct the text. These will be mailed on demand to all customers upon request. Please write to our sales department to request replacement stickers for the page containing these errors. As an alternative, a PDF is available here that can be printed, trimmed, and taped or pasted into the book to replace the errant text.

We are working to correct remaining stock and resume sales of the book as quickly as possible.

His Eminence +HILARION, Metropolitan of Eastern America and New York, First Hierarch of the Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia, reposed in the Lord on May 3/16, 2022 following a protracted illness. Our books have been published with his imprimatur since his election as primate of ROCOR in 2008.

A short biography and part one of a 2010 interview with His Eminence are available at Orthodox Life. The concluding portion of the interview will be published in the coming days.

The newly-reposed Metropolitan Hilarion will be laid to rest in the brotherhood cemetery of Holy Trinity Monastery on Sunday, May 9/22. Memory Eternal to this humble, loving archpastor in Christ!

This year, The Eastern American Diocese of the Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia will be able to hold its traditional Lenten Pastoral retreat for the first time since 2019, due to the restrictions necessitated by the Coronavirus pandemic. This year the diocese is hosting two retreats, a "Northern" retreat at Holy Trinity Monastery (Jordanville, NY) and a "Southern" retreat at St. Mary of Egypt Orthodox Church (Roswell, GA). Holy Trinity Publications will display a table of new books and classic publications at each retreat.

The Northern retreat will take place Monday, March 28th - Wednesday, March 30th at our home base in Jordanville, NY. We will have a table in the seminary hall featuring our newest books and publications most thematically appropriate to clergy. In addition, all our books may be purchased in the monastery's retail store, Holy Trinity Church Supplies, which will also be open for attendees throughout the conference.

During the sixth week of Great Lent, we will also display our publications at the Southern pastoral retreat, to be held Monday April 11 - Wednesday, April 13 in Roswell, GA.

The annual directory of Bishops, Clergy, and Parishes of the Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia is now available as a free PDF download from the website of Holy Trinity Monastery.

Paperback copies may also be ordered via Lulu.

While the liturgical rubrics for the Sunday of the Prodigal Son are correct, we have been made aware that the first words given of some texts from the Afterfeast of the Meeting of the Lord are actually from the wrong day. We list the corrected version of the relevant sections below.
