LRD — Ministry Overview
Promoting the translation, versification, and publication of vital English liturgical resources for the Syriac Orthodox faithful.
The LRD App and Bookstore bring the ancient prayers of the Church into everyday life.
With reverence for tradition and a commitment to accessibility, we make the sacred liturgy available to every faithful household.
The LRD Mobile App provides the complete Service Book of the Holy Qurbono, Shehimo, feast day services, and the full liturgical calendar – with background audio, bookmarking, and a “Pray Now” feature that dynamically serves the prayers for the current hour and day.
Our print publications bring the same faithful translations into your home and parish. The Service Book of the Holy Qurbono is available in Parish and Personal editions, and Shehimo: Book of Common Prayer is available in hardcover – both orderable through our bookstore.
The Liturgical Resource Development Ministry is an effort to develop and advance English translations and versifications of our Syriac liturgies.
Feast day articles, memorial reflections, and liturgical guides – published here and updated throughout the year.
Our resources serve parishes, families, and individuals across the world – bringing the prayers, sacraments, and feasts of the Church into daily life.
The LRD App brings the full liturgical tradition to iOS and Android – with daily prayers, the Holy Qurbono, and the complete liturgical calendar.
