[email protected]Why We Give
Your Gift Sustains 117 Years of Faith
The Orthodox tradition teaches that giving is an act of liturgical participation — a participation in the life of the Church and a reflection of God's own generosity toward us.
Liturgy & Ministry
Your gift funds the Divine Liturgy, sacraments, and pastoral care that form the heart of parish life.
Building & Grounds
Our 1973 church building requires ongoing care. Your support preserves this sacred space for future generations.
Education & Outreach
Sunday School, catechism, and community outreach depend on the generosity of parishioners and friends.
"Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver."
2 Corinthians 9:7
