Presbytera Marinda, Lydia McGee, Faye Georgeo and Fr. George taught our youth to use their new Prayer Books with beautiful icons for use throughout the day. Thanks to our parents who joined us. Our fellowship ended with playground fun.

On Sunday, August 1st, Fr. George, Katie Wilson, and our religious educators will join our parish families in asking God to bless the new school year, 2021-2022. Parents and children are encouraged to join us as we pray the “Agiasmos” (Blessing of Waters) to anoint and bless us with a successful and enlightening new school and religious education year. Please reserve 8/1/21 now. [Pictured above is a memory from a previous “Agiasmos”.]

Please email Katie Wilson if you and your family are new to our parish and wish to enroll your children in the 2021-2022 school year, or if you have any questions or concerns.

On Tuesday, July 20th, we remembered Mother Maria Skobtsova (1891-1945). She is a modern saint and Orthodox nun who made her home in Paris a haven for Jews during Nazi occupation. During church services, Fr. George shared her witness and martyrdom.
 

 
In response, our 2021-2022 Adult Religious Education Class will be reading the collection of her writings from the book featured below. They reflect her deep commitment to the Gospel of Christ’s mandate that unites love of God and love of neighbor. Fr. George and Katie Wilson hope you will join us for classes and participate weekly when they begin August 8th.
 

 
To introduce Mother Maria to our parish family, Fr. George will read the short children’s book, “Silent As A Stone: Mother Maria of Paris & the Trash Can Rescue” in his children’s sermon on Sunday, August 1st – the same day we will bless the new school year for public and private schools and our religious education classes. As Jenny Schroedel wrote in praise for this book published by St. Vladimir’s Seminary Press (2007): “Silent As A Stone conveys the hope and heartbreak of life in a bite-size form that children can manage… who must find the path of love through our broken world.” Please join us every Sunday to do so!

Katie Wilson leads our teachers' meetings to review our progress and share updates on upcoming lesson plans. We are thankful and proud of our teachers, students and their families, and most of all... thankful we were called to share the love and mercy of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
