Dear Brothers and Sisters,

On Saturday, February 25, we are organizing a Shrovetide Dinner: an opportunity to gather for a rich meal before the beginning of Great Fast.

Vespers will begin at 6:30PM, followed by dinner prepared by our Circle of Serbian Sisters. For entertainment we will have a D.J. so we hope that our cheerful youth will join.

Everyone is welcome!

NEW CHURCH FUNDRAISER CONTINUES!

Zoran Radisic

Dear brothers and sisters,

On Friday, January 27, 2023, we handed to the city the signed SPA (Site Plan Agreement), certified checks, as well as two sets of planning drafts: once again, many thanks to everyone for their contributions and any other help!

After this payment, we have about $30,000 left in our “Building Fund” account. In order to accomplish the construction of the new Church, it is necessary that we continue to raise money for the upcoming building permits, materials and construction costs that will amount to hundreds of thousands of dollars. Therefore, the fund-raising campaign for the construction of the new Church continues: your contributions designated for “St. Archangel Gabriel Serbian Orthodox Parish” with the memo “For Building Fund” can be sent to:

With God’s help, nothing will be impossible for us to achieve by working together!
