The Sick
"I was sick and you visited me." We have petitions for the sick during
the Liturgy and every Wednesday at our prayer service before the icon
of the Mother of God, "Queen of All;" so, if you or someone you know is
sick and needs prayer or would like a visit, please let Father George
know.
Our Choir
New
members for the choir are always welcome. You are encouraged to take
this opportunity to beautifully enhance the services of the Church. If
you are able to do so, please speak to our choir director, Christopher
Johnson. Rehearsals are on Thursday evenings at 7 PM.
Our Sunday School
A
class for our very young children is being taught by Christopher
Johnson and Dorothy Dillon in the library after Trapeza. Father George
is teaching a class for older youngsters on an occasional basis. (He
would be glad to make it regular!) Let us please keep our Sunday School
in our prayers because such instruction is a foundational element in
parish life. If you would like to help with the program, please speak
to Fr. George. Also, coming up soon, we will embark on a common reading
and study of a modern classic in the tradition of the Fathers,
“Orthodox Dogmatic Theology.” This work by Father Michael Pomazansky is
beloved by those who know it, and this is an opportunity for others to
experience its richness. More will be said in the November bulletin.
Our Bookstore
Please
see and use our bookstore. As well as books, music service books,
icons, CD’s, Pascha egg pendants and other items are available. There
is more than one source for the items in our store. When you buy
something, please put the following into the donation box, together
with the payment (in full, thanks – no future payments or IOU’s): the
item name (“book” won’t do) and the dollar ($) amount of the payment.
There are note-sized pieces of paper for your use for this purpose on
the candle stand. This information will enable us to keep our
book-keeping straight. Thank you for supporting the Parish Bookstore.
Thanks to Katya Renko for the new seasonal items.
St. Juliana Sisterhood
All
women are welcome to be members of our Sisterhood. To become one,
please contact Katia Renko before the next Sisterhood meeting.
Membership dues range from $2-$5 per month. An excellent opportunity
open to both men and women to help maintain the beauty, warmth and
hospitable atmosphere of our parish is to take your place on the Church
Cleaning Schedule, which is on the bulletin board next to the
refrigerator.

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."

Since 2009 we have been restoring our beautiful chapel, gifted to our parish that year by the Christian Brothers.
To date, we have received and administered grants of approximately $400,000 so far, and continue to apply for the grants as they become available.
