Tenth Anniversary Celebration and Church Consecration, May 1-2, 2009

We invite you to share in our joy by participating with us as we welcome our Hierarchs on Friday and Saturday, May 1-2, 2009, for the sacred Ritual of Consecration of our Parish Church.

We ask for your prayers always, but especially during these days of thanksgiving for all that God has done for us in these first ten years of the Parish’s existence. May Our Lord consecrate us all in His truth and fill us with His love!

Tenth Anniversary Fund Drive

In conjunction with the Tenth Anniversary, we are also offering our friends the opportunity to participate in a special Tenth Anniversary Fund Drive, which began on our Parish Feast Day, December 6th, 2008, and will conclude with the Anniversary Banquet. The drive will assist us with the necessary improvements and appointments for the sanctuary, our parish kitchen construction project, and related expenses for which we hope to raise up to $100,000.
We look forward to seeing you in May!

Yours in Christ,

V. Rev. Robert C. Holet, Pastor
