I went to Liturgy today at the Orthodox parish here in Kraków. From conversations with a few people, it sounds like it this is a pretty typical Russian-style parish: everything in Slavonic (except for the sermon and the Bible readings were also done in Polish), only those just having gone to Confession or infants received Holy Communion, and no one talked to me. In many ways, it was really different from my home parish, St. Joe’s OCA in Wheaton, IL.

I miss my parish family today.
