Dear parish family and friends of Holy Apostles,
As you know, we have entered into Great Lent, which began on Clean Monday, March 18th. We have always had a Matching Grant Fundraiser during the Great Fast. The grant begins on Clean Monday and closes on Palm Sunday, which is April 28 this year.
This year, we are very happy to announce that we have $38,000 to offer in matching funds. The sponsors of our grant will match every dollar contributed, up to a maximum of $38,000. We have the opportunity to raise $76,000, if we make our goal.
This is a great opportunity to double your gift! Please prayerfully consider making a generous contribution.

Holy Apostles Orthodox Church is a parish of the Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia (ROCOR), founded with the purpose of bringing the Gospel and Divine Services of the Russian Orthodox Church to the people of America in the English language. We invite you to come to any of the Divine Services or events at our mission church. In 2009 we were gifted a beautiful, historic chapel and two-acre campus by the Christian Brothers. Our vision is to establish the parish in its new home, from where the parish can continue to thrive and grow as a living icon of Orthodox missions in America.
UPDATED FOR 2024! In 2009 our parish was gifted an historic chapel surrounded by two acres of beautiful land. Since then we have been restoring the chapel, and planning the construction of the new parish hall, which would enable us to move from our current location at Twin Chimneys Office Park.
We are approaching the groundbreaking for construction of the new Parish Hall. The visual history below tells our story.

Dear Family of Holy Apostles Orthodox Church and Friends,
We pray too for the advance of our building and restoration projects, ever more defined and visible in our eyes. We look for God to encourage through this late definition of our aims for people to open their heart and their pockets to help us establish and make as glorious as possible our witness to His will in our God-given place.

From 'St John of Shanghai and San Francisco, Zealous Builder of Churches'
Everywhere he went he either oversaw the building of churches or supported the same with his attention and prayers... He wrote about the godly work of building churches:
"In building churches here on earth, we create for ourselves eternal habitations in heaven."
