Dear Martha & Parishioners, Christ is Risen! 

Thank you for coordinating a Pantry Partners drive benefiting Project Mexico & St. Innocent Orphanage! Your thoughtfulness, overwhelming generosity, and labors of love in coordinating this donation drive are visible signs that the poor and orphaned of Mexico have brothers and sisters in Christ all around the world. Because of your trust and support, we continue to fundamentally change the lives of others in meaningful and profound ways. Together, we move forward in faith building hope for boys without families and families without homes. It is important to remember that we can do nothing alone, but we can do all things through Christ. On behalf of the staff, volunteers, and boys of Project Mexico & St. Innocent Orphanage, thank you for your generosity. We pray that God richly blesses you for reaching out to the least of His children.

 In Christ, Lena Anossov Pantry Partners Coordinator, Project Mexico 

Collections for Project Mexico are on the 1st Sunday of the month, the next collection is Sunday June 7th.

The Lord loves all people, but He loves those who seek Him even more. To his chosen ones the Lord gives such great grace that for love they forsake the whole earth, the whole world, and their souls burn with desire that all people might be saved and see the glory of the Lord. St. Silouan the Athonite

The Mission of The Orthodox Church in America, the local autocephalous Orthodox Christian Church, is to be faithful in fulfilling the commandment of Christ to “Go into all the world and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit…”

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.
