Dear parishioners, brothers and sisters!
This year our temple unexpectedly needs expensive repair work. We urgently need to:
-replace a rusty underground sewer pipe,
-install a new boiler and water heater,
-replace the leaking church roof, cornices and gutters.
All of these projects require significant capital funds—about $50,000.
Our parish exists exclusively thanks to your donations and we simply do not have other sources of financial assistance. Our church is the only Orthodox church of the ROCOR in the entire state of Colorado.
We ask everyone to take part in this good cause with financial help and your prayers.
Donations for the renovation of the temple can be made in one of these ways:
-Credit or debit card (at bookstore),
-Via PayPal using this link or QR code below,
-Cash.
May God bless you for your generous help!
The Parish Council.

The Great Martyr and Healer Panteleimon was born in the city of Nicomedia into the family of the illustrious pagan Eustorgius, and he was named Pantoleon. His mother St Euboula (March 30) was a Christian. She wanted to raise her son in the Christian Faith, but she died when the future martyr was just a young child. His father sent Pantoleon to a pagan school, after which the young man studied medicine at Nicomedia under the renowned physician Euphrosynus. Pantoleon came to the attention of the emperor Maximian (284-305), who wished to appoint him as royal physician when he finished his schooling. Read more here.
Dormition Lent August 14 –August 27

It lasts two weeks—from August 1/14–August 14/27 (old style/new style). The Dormition fast comes down to us from the early days of Christianity. Read more about the fast here.

Vigil and Confession: Augus 18, Tuesday 6:00 p.m.
Liturgy: August 19, Wednesday 9:30 a.m.
Jesus Christ, in speaking to His disciples, often told them that He was to go to Jerusalem to receive suffering at the hands of the Highpriests and the teachers of the Law, and to be killed and to be resurrected on the third day.
The apostles believed that Jesus was the long awaited Messiah, but they were deeply distressed at the thought of His suffering and would not hear of the fact that He, the Son of God and the Messiah would be degraded, would suffer and would die.
The disciples still had earthly hopes about the glory of the Saviour. Read more about the fast here.

In the Orthodox Church, we celebrate the Feast of the Dormition of Our Most Holy Lady, the Theotokos and Ever-Virgin Mary every year on August 15th (August 28th on the Julian calendar). This Feast commemorates herepose (Gr. kimisis, or “falling asleep”). We sometimes refer to this Feast as the Assumption, because it proclaims that Mary has been “assumed” by God into the heavenly kingdom of Christ in the fullness of her spiritual and bodily existence.
