Prosforo & Koliva Ministry

Some of the most sacred acts of service happen quietly, away from the spotlight, and this ministry is a beautiful example of that truth. The Prosphora Baking and Koliva Ministry supports the sacramental and memorial life of the Church through the careful and prayerful preparation of offerings used in worship. Participants learn the deep spiritual significance and centuries-old traditions behind preparing prosphora for the Divine Liturgy and koliva for memorial services. This is a ministry of devotion as much as it is of service; each preparation is an act of prayer offered on behalf of the entire parish. If you are drawn to quiet, meaningful service that connects directly to the worship life of the Church, this ministry will nourish your soul. Through this sacred work, members participate in a living tradition of faith, humility, and love for God and neighbor.
