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.

Nativity Fast
28 November – 6 January 2025
The Nativity fast begins on November 28, and lasts forty days. This period of fasting begins directly after the commemoration of the Holy Apostle Philip, on the November 28 according to the Church calendar, and concludes with the Nativity Feast itself. The Nativity fast is not Юas strict as Great Lent or the Dormition fast, and can be compared to the Apostle’s fast: fish can be eaten on every Saturday and Sunday, as well as on festal days of the Church calendar that do not fall on Wednesday or Friday. It was instituted by the Church so that we would worthily greet the feast of the Nativity of Christ after having cleansed our hearts by prayer and repentance.
