Please click on the following link to view a letter from Metropolitan TIKHON, Locum Tenens of the Albanian Archdiocese.  The letter offers encouragement and guidance to parishes as we are entering Great Lent.  He acknowledges the difficult past year, commends how local parishes have maintained patience and initiative over the past year in dealing with all the COVID protocols, and is urging parishes to maintain a level of care and caution for Great Lent even as we begin to see a decrease in infections and the availability of vaccines.  Everyone is hoping the upcoming Lenten period will allow for a continued increase and return of liturgical services and life.  March 6, 2021: Guidelines for Great Lent
