SERVING ORPHANS AND WIDOWS MINISTRY

We are planning a trip on January 20th to Tijuana, Mexico, to serve at an orphanage with a Christian organization called Serving Orphans and Widows. Transportation will cost between $20-40, and you must have a valid passport to join. Monetary donations or a donation of clothing, toys, or household supplies are very appreciated! Register here!

HELP WITH CHURCH CONSTRUCTION

Construction on the parish has begun! People helped haul nearly 5 tons of material, but there's still lots to be done! As clean up begins this week, please consider helping out. Contact Taunt Nadra to help with clean up this week. To offer other construction help, and to receive email updates on construction needs, please email Bishoy Said.

ANNOUNCEMENTS, VISITATIONS & CONFESSIONS

Please let us know if you have any upcoming important events for us to share with our fellow congregants. Special events are best shared amongst our family, and we encourage you to share your special news with us. In addition, if you would like to schedule a time for a visit or confession with Father Antony Paul, please email him or approach him after the Liturgy on Sunday.

FOOD & CLEAN-UP

To sign up to bring food for the agape meal on Sundays, please fill in the weekly spreadsheet available HERE. We need as many volunteers as possible to keep the church clean on Sundays after the Divine Liturgy. Please consider this important expression of stewardship.
