QUOTE OF THE WEEK
"The bread which you hold back belongs to the hungry; the coat, which you guard in your locked storage-chests, belongs to the naked; the footwear mouldering in your closet belongs to those without shoes. The silver that you keep hidden in a safe place belongs to the one in need. Thus, however many are those whom you could have provided for, so many are those whom you wrong."
-St. Basil the Great, whose miracle we commemorate on 13 Thoout/23 September

NEW BUILDING CAMPAIGN
The mission of our church is to bring the ancient faith of the Orthodox Church of Alexandria to English Speakers. Our congregation is fast outgrowing our temporary location, and we are looking to relocate to a permanent home. Having a permanent location would allow us to better outreach the community by being identifiable with the unique traditional style of a Coptic parish and to provide for our community by having the space for a social hall, Sunday School classrooms, and meeting spaces for high school and college youth, and young professionals.
