PTVM upcoming men's events: January & February 2025
PTVM Men
When You, O Lord were baptized in the Jordan
the worship of the Trinity was made manifest
for the voice of the Father bore witness to You
and called You His beloved Son.
And the Spirit, in the form of a dove,
confirmed the truthfulness of His word.
O Christ, our God, You have revealed Yourself
and have enlightened the world, glory to You!

Life of Malchus, the Captive Monk (St. Malchus of Chalcis, Syria)
