Also included in the program will be an opportunity to discuss pastoral issues, participation in the Great Lenten Divine Services, confession and the concelebration of the Liturgy of the Presanctified Gifts.

On Monday the 17 of March at 7:00 pm all the clergy will pray at a panykhida for the ever-memorable Metropolitan Laurus, who lead the Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia into Canonical Communion with the Church in Russia and then in less than a year reposed in the Lord on the Sunday of Orthodoxy (+ March 16, 2008).
