On Sunday, July 4, 2021, prayers were offered at the completion of the academic year, thanking the Lord for the blessing of His wisdom and knowledge, and asking Him to preserve the students in that which they have learned which is according to His divine law.
Prayer for Graduates
O Lord, grateful of Thy great benefits which Thou hast so richly bestowed upon us in Thy loving-kindness, we bless and give thanks to Thee and we beseech Thee to look graciously upon us and these graduates, who have completed their courses of study. Pour into their hearts, minds, and upon their lips, the spirit of wisdom, understanding, piety, and godly fear; enlighten them with the light of Thy knowledge, and bestow upon them strength and steadfastness, that they may quickly apprehend and willingly embrace all that they have received which is good and profitable, and in accordance with Thy divine law.Grant that they grow in wisdom and understanding. May they prosper in good works for the glorification of Thy holy Name. Give them health and long life that they may labor for the building up and glory of Thy holy Church, this nation, and of all Thy people.
And bless also their teachers, rewarding them for their good endeavors and diligence to impart the truth that emanates from Thee.
For Thou art the only true God, Who is mighty in mercy and gracious in strength, and to Thee we send up glory: to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, now and ever, and unto the ages of ages.

You are invited to join Christ the Savior Orthodox Church for a group outing to see The Story of Everything on Wednesday, May 6, 2026 at 6:30 PM at Regal Salisbury. In a world that often sees the universe as random and without meaning, this film invites us to behold creation with wonder and reverence. From the vastness of the galaxies to the hidden complexity within a single cell, we are reminded that “the heavens declare the glory of God” (Psalm 19:1). What we encounter is not chaos, but order… not accident, but beauty… not silence, but a quiet testimony to the Logos who sustains all things. This is more than a film about science. It is an invitation to see the world as a gift, to rediscover awe, and to deepen our gratitude to God, the Creator of all. Come experience this inspiring and thought-provoking film together as a parish!
