Weekly Prayer for Those Suffering with Physical Ailments, Mental Illness and Spiritual Afflictions
Greetings, My name is Fr. Maximos McIntyre, an Orthodox Christian priest residing in New England, serving in the Eastern American Diocese of the Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia. I have served in various capacities such as an assistant priest, rector of a mission parish and a volunteer chaplain in hospice and nursing home settings. Currently I am on temporary medical leave from fully active ministry with the hope of returning. (Fr. Maximos McIntyre) I continue to serve in pastoral care of the faithful, but in a limited capacity. The community I served since 2016, Holy Protection mission parish in West, Brookfield, MA, is not conducting divine services in my absence. At the direction of His Eminence, Metropolitan Nicholas, if you were planning on visiting Holy Protection, feel free to visit one of our ROCOR sister churches in the diocese. (Holy Protection mission parish) Currently I serve in a private chapel dedicated Saint Luke the Surgeon. Although the chapel is not open
