THANK YOU to all who contributed to the School Supplies Project.  28 young people received school supplies because of your generosity.  Special thanks to Stephanie Homyak for the extra supplies she was able to donate and to David Bieber and Bill Weiss for their find work of coordinating this event.  Thanks, as well, to our parishioners who were present to welcome our neighbors as the school supplies were distributed.

The Holy Scripture is a collection of books written over multiple centuries by those inspired by God to do so. It is the primary witness to the Orthodox Christian faith, within Holy Tradition and often described as its highest point. It was written by the prophets and apostles in human language, inspired by the Holy Spirit, and collected, edited, and canonized by the Church.

Holiness or sainthood is a gift (charisma) given by God to man, through the Holy Spirit. Man's effort to become a participant in the life of divine holiness is indispensable, but sanctification itself is the work of the Holy Trinity, especially through the sanctifying power of Jesus Christ, who was incarnate, suffered crucifixion, and rose from the dead, in order to lead us to the life of holiness, through the communion with the Holy Spirit.
