Sunday Morning Eucharist.
Every Sunday Morning at 11 AM.This service, which resembles the Mass of the Roman Catholic communion, is the supreme transformational rite of Christian Alchemy. Regular attendance at this service advances the personal spiritual transformation of those attending in marked measure; while many have found even occasional attendance very helpful. The service is of an average duration of one hour and fifteen minutes, and concludes with a brief homily. Bishop Hoeller conducts the services on the majority of Sundays, with qualified Gnostic clergy substituting for the Bishop on other occasions.
Weekday Evening Eucharist.
