MAINTENANCE UPDATE:

As 2025 is coming to a close, we would like to update all parishioners on the maintenance/upgrades done this year.

-All the flat roofs have been power washed, and a new drainage system was installed to prevent water from puddling on the roofs. This was at a cost $15,000.

-We are in the process off plastering, repairing and painting walls and ceilings.

-A new air-conditioner and two new furnaces will be installed this fall by Gault at a cost of $25,341.79.

We continually thank all parishioners who have supported our maintenance fund. It has helped to defray costs for these upgrades.  May God bless all of you!

Jesus Christ The Sower

Saint Theophilus the Confessor, Archbishop of Bulgaria, teaches:

 “He came out of the bosom of the Father, from invisibility, and became visible. He who always sows came out. Because the Son of God does not stop always sowing in our souls. The Lord sows through preachers who proclaim the truth, not their own, but inspired by the Spirit of Truths, sowing the seeds of the saving teaching of Christ. The apostles sent by the savior to preach went all over the world announcing the Gospel of the Kingdom to all creation. They did not announce their own teaching, but announced to everyone the Divine teaching, announced to them by the Lord Himself, who guided them to all truth, making them mystics. The work of the preaching of Christ’s apostles was continued by the holy martyrs and confessors, who glorified the crucified and risen Christ not only with their prayers, but also with their pious deeds. Their banner was taken up by the saints of Christ, the holy fathers and teachers of the Church… the holy and the righteous, each sowing seeds in his [or her] own field The gracious word of God.”
