It’s hard to believe it – but that time of year is here!! There is a new ecclesiastical calendar for 2024 at the back of the church. The suggested donation is $10 for each calendar. Due to the limited quantity, please only take one per family.
Thanks for your continued support of St Michael.
This year, St. Michael Women will send out a Nativity Greeting to all our parish members. A portion of the proceeds of this year’s Nativity card will be going to the Clergy Widows Fund. These women who have dedicated their lives and their families to the church will always be our “Khourie” / “Presvitera” / “Matushka” – even after they suffer the loss of their priest-husbands. This fund will cover some of their needs for utilities, food, and shelter.
The order form for the Nativity Greeting has been mailed out. If you would like your name on the St. Michael Nativity Card, please complete the form and return it by December 17, 2023. Please donate to St. Michael Women and write ‘Nativity Card’ in the memo. We thank you for your continued generosity.
