St. Adalbert Home Oratory - Orthodox Rite
Even with relaxed medical restrictions in place
post COVID-19, the St. Adalbert OCAC
Home Oratory does not currently perform religious
services in a congregational setting. In addition, no
donations are needed or accepted, as it is not an
incorporated charity or non-profit. Instead, St.
Adalbert OCAC suggests donating, generously and
repeatedly if you can, to the Southeast Texas Food
Bank. (See the link in the left column.)
(Jan 2024) "Birthday Bags" are a way to let
seniors know that they are still remembered. Purchase a large, sturdy
gift bag and fill it with items such as shampoo, conditioner, body wash,
powder, deodorant, toothpaste and brushes, hand or body lotion, and
perhaps a pill organizer and coffee cup. Your church or group may already
know people who could receive these, but
Orange Christian Services can accept them. Please call them
before bringing a large number of bags.
There are even 3 more options for really direct
donations. There are "Blessing Boxes" where you can
leave non-perishable food and small toiletries. The
motto of this ministry is "Take what you need. Give
what you can." The locations are:
- First Baptist Church of West Orange, 608 Dayton Street
- Orange Public Library, 220 N 5th Street
- First Presbyterian Church, 902 Green Avenue
Deacon Marti recites Vespers nightly at 6 PM,
USA central time. A monthly requiem is recited on the
last Saturday of the month. Use the link below to
request a name be added to the altar memorial book.
Veterans, and especially supporters of Veterans For
Peace, are encouraged to reply. Please only
e-mail a name: no birthdays, deathdays, military
service numers; God knows these but hackers don't
need to. The religion of the departed is of no
consequence, and there is no fee for this. Donate to
a local food bank, or nationally to Help Heal Veterans.
"For some there is no memory, and they perished
as though they hadn't existed. These have become as
though they hadn't been born, they and even their
children after them. But these were compassionate
people whose righteous deeds haven't been forgotten."
Sirach 44:9,10
Marti was originally ordained into the Minor
Orders of the Liberal Catholic Church International
at the St. Thomas Cathedral in New York City in 2005
and 2006. He completed the full course of theological
study, both Lay and Pastoral, at the St. Alban
Seminary between 2005 and 2009. From 2009 to 2020 he
participated with liberal Christians in the UUA in
both Washington, DC and Texas.
