Attention !!! New Rules on scheduling Treby
(private services like Panikhida, Molieben, Baptism, Wedding etc.)
All requests for such services should be made through the Starosta. Our Starosta (i.e., the Warden)
is John Gonyea (695-6865). It is preferable to speak to him at church. If such a service can be anticipated,
please inform Starosta a couple of weeks in advance.
Nativity Mortgage Fund Appeal
With God's help, five years ago after decades of effort, we were able to raise enough money for a down payment in order to build our new church in dedication of the Nativity of the Mother of God. As many of you know, we also have a significant mortgage obligation of over $5,000.00 per month. For many years, fellow parishoners have been pledging money on a regular basis to help meet our mortgage obligation. Now that we have begun to fund the beautiful frescos for the inside of our church, it is very important that we continue to keep up with our mortgage payments. Thus, the parish council is making this Nativity appeal for our mortgage fund. If you would like to pledge a weekly, monthly or annual amount to our mortgage fund, please contact Reader John Schuler next time your see him in church, or call him at 346-4350. Any amount pledged on a regular basis, no matter how large or small, would be truly appreciated. If you are unable to make a regular pledge at this time, please still consider making a donation. God willing, we have been able to make all of our mortgage payments, even though a number of families have moved away from our parish. But we have been blessed to have many new families join us, so now is a good time to renew our appeal. May God bless you for your generosity!
Calling for travelers to Russia !!!
If you are traveling from Russia to Albany
area and can purchase a few Russian craft items like spoons, wooden toys, matreshka etc.
for our church store it would be highly appreciated. We will reimburse your expenses.
If you can help, please e-mail.
