<br />Interment will be at
San Fernando Mission following the parastas<br />
<br />I don't know of any other schedule beyond this.
<br /><br />There is a baptism at 1p.m. in the church, so there is a small bit of
time between the funeral and baptism to prepare the church for the baptism.
<br /><br />An ending followed by a beginning of Christian life in the same day!

Also, Note that the weekday Divine liturgy tends to start EARLY!!!!<br />
While the listed time says 8:30 am the liturgy is often well under way by that time.<br />
Best to arrive by 8:15!!!Steve Phttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00557815668393206564noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7691838807255668319.post-44621106921188928862012-06-24T13:44:00.002-07:002012-06-24T13:47:22.257-07:00It's Summer already.
