Typika - The Service of Holy Communion Without A Priest (Deacon's version)

Spiral-bound, 45 pages

Deacon's version

This edition of Typika has been prepared for the use of deacons and faithful in the Byzantine Ruthenian Metropolitan Church of Pittsburgh by the Intereparchial Commission for Sacred Liturgy.  While Typika without holy communion has a regular place in the daily "hours" of the Divine Praises, it is to be noted that this service with holy communion and served only by a deacon is exceptional and for those emergency situations when a priest is not available to celebrate the Divine Liturgy.  The deacon who is to conduct this service must have the permission of the local ordinary.
