QUOTE OF THE WEEK
"I believe in my God, who is merciful and my refuge, and I put my hope in Him. The torture you are meting out against my body troubles me little, because for us men, however much the external body is corrupted, so much more is the inner body revitalized. This is what we have learned, and this is what I believe."
-St. Gregory the Armenian, whose raising from the pit we commemorate on 19 Thoout/29 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.
