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.

Dormition of the Holy Theotokos.
Vigil and Confession: August 27 Tuesday 6:00 p.m.
Liturgy: August 28 Wednesday 9:30 a.m.
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 her repose (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.

The Martyrs Adrian and Natalia were married in their youth for one year prior to their martyrdom, and lived in Nicomedia during the time of the emperor Maximian (305-311). The emperor promised a reward to whomever would inform on Christians to bring them to trial. Then the denunciations began, and twenty-three Christians were captured in a cave near Nicomedia.
