Holy Week commences on Holy Monday, April 25, 2016, and concludes with the celebration of Pascha on May 1, 2016.

"Behold! The bridegroom comes in the middle of the night and blessed is the servant whom he shall find watching, and unworthy the servant whom he shall find heedless. Take care then, O my soul, and be not weighed down by sleep that you will not be given over unto death and be excluded from the Kingdom. But rise up and call out: 'Holy, Holy, Holy art Thou O God, by the Theotokos have mercy on us!'"

+Troparion of the First Three Days

On Tuesday, March 29, 2016, the members of the Holy Synod of Bishops of the Orthodox Church in America elected the Right Reverend Dr. Alexander (Golitzin), bishop of Toledo and the Bulgarian Diocese, to fill the vacant See of Dallas and the South during their Spring Session. His Grace succeeds His Eminence Archbishop Dmitri, who in retirement fell asleep in the Lord on August 28, 2011.

An alumnus of the Class of 1973 (M.Div.), Bishop Alexander serves on the Seminary faculty as Sessional Professor of Patristics. His Grace has served in academic settings for several decades. At Oxford University, he studied under His Eminence the Right Reverend Kallistos (Ware), metropolitan of Diokleia, and wrote his dissertation on Dionysius the Areopagite. He also spent a year at the Simonos Petras Monastery on Mt. Athos. In 1989, Bishop Alexander assumed a teaching position with the Theology Department at Marquette University in Milwaukee, WI, where he supported a dozen Orthodox Christian students in theological doctoral work.

Bishop Alexander will continue to serve as Bishop of Toledo and the Bulgarian Diocese. 

Many years, Master!
