The first weekend of the Great Fast, February 16-18th, thirty-eight women gathered together under the auspices of Father Lukas Mitro, the administrator of Holy Resurrection Parish in Euclid, Ohio to learn about then meditate on the eight beatitudes. Time was set aside for formal prayer including the Compline, the Akathist, Vespers and the Divine Liturgy as well as for private prayer and reflection. Confessions were available.
