God, for ever and ever. Amen.

*In our Gallican Rite, as well as in most Orthodox worship, "The Names" of those being remembered during the Eucharistic Liturgy are either read aloud at some point before or during the Anaphora [Eucharistic Prayer] or are printed and the list laid upon the altar. This page lists the Names we are currently remembering during worship. Names may be added; please send any names you would like to add to us via email with "The Names" in the subject line.
