Remember to pray for…
Betty Chisholm (and her husband, Don) as they struggle with the infirmities of age
An Opportunity to Help a Fellow-Parishioner
Betty Chisholm would very much like to come to church, but needs a special Medical-Transport van to do so. If you would like to donate the price of one (1) trip ($103.00), please speak with Matushka Deborah Johnson.
Books for Spiritual Growth and (great for gifts too!)
In our bookstore we have these items, all highly recommended (they wouldn’t be there otherwise). They should be a part of every Orthodox Christian’s library.
Father Seraphim Rose, His Life and Works by Abbot Damascene
Confession, the Holy Mystery of Repentance by Father John Townsend
Orthodox Dogmatic Theology by Father Michael Pamazansky
We have other books for sale and please also take advantage of our library.
Purchase of Books, Candles, Prosphora and Other Items
Please remember when buying anything from the church to record the item name, quantity, and $ amount on the columned paper at the candle stand. Also indicate your purchase on the “for” or memo line of a check, or on a slip of paper with your name attached to cash and leave your check or cash in the wicker basket. By so doing, you will make possible a correct accounting by our treasurer.
Our Choir
Our choir, as you can hear, is very effective, but small, and new members are always welcome. If you can sing and would like to participate, please speak with our choir director, Reader Christopher Johnson. Rehearsals are normally held on Thursday evenings from 7 to 9 (see the schedule), and attendance at them is required (which is directly related to the choir’s effectiveness).
Our Sunday School
We have these Sunday School classes available:
1) 3 to 6 years old, taught by Dorothy Johnson and assisted by Matushka Anastasia Dantinne
2) From 7 to 9 years old, taught by Claire Mendis
3) From 10 to 12 years old, taught by Peter Gardner
4) From 13 to 15 years old, taught by Mariya Petrenko
5) From 16 to 18 years old, taught by Reader Christopher
6) Adults, taught by Father George
Welcome
A warm welcome is due to Nathan Hicks, who was anointed with holy chrism on Sunday, 1/31. As God allows, he will have his first communion on our first non-snow-impeded Divine Liturgy.

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."

Become a Church Builder! |
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.
