My family and I are planning a pilgrimage to Holy Trinity Monastery in Jordanville, NY in October. As members of the OCA, are we permitted to receive Holy Communion here? If so, what is the rule for receiving at this monastery. Thank you.

That sinner,
Michael

You will need to go to confession prior to receiving the Mysteries and prepare with the usual prayer rule and fasting. Any of the priests there can give you the details. Check the website (http://www.jordanville.org/) for the daily schedule (http://www.jordanville.org/schedule.html). I believe that one could make their confession either during the evening service (preferable) or during the midnight service before Liturgy.
