Every Friday, at 18:00, a touching service of the Paraklisis of the Mother of God is held in the Cathedral, which consists of a canon, akathist, Gospel reading and prayer to the Most Holy Theotokos. All believers are invited to attend the service on Friday evening. During the Paraclesis, special petitions are heard for the Russian land, for our army, for receiving consolation and courage.
