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.

In the city of Nazareth dwelled a God-fearing elderly couple – Joachim, from the house of David, and Anna, from the priestly tribe of Aaron. They were childless. In those days Hebrews, awaiting the Messiah, believed that any one who did not have children had in some way offended God and was being punished by having no descendants to be part of the kingdom of the Messiah.

The 17th Sunday after Pentecost. EXALTATION OF THE HOLY CROSS (Strict fast)
Vigil and Confession: 5:30 p.m., September 26 Saturday
Liturgy: 10:00 a.m., September 27 Sunday
The feast of the Elevation is in honor of the Cross of Christ. In remembrance of the suffering and death of Christ on the Cross, the day is one of strict fasting. If the birth of the Holy Virgin is the anticipation of the mystery of the Incarnation, then the Cross announces the expiatory sacrifice of Christ. For this reason the feast is celebrated in the beginning of the Church calendar year. The sign of the cross – in Roman times an instrument of shameful death, after Golgotha becomes the symbol of salvation and victory. Read more about the feast here…
