Second Sunday of the Fast

Reflections of a deacon

To reiterate the email that Elaine sent out Sunday morning, and the announcement that Father Cyprian and Father Deacon Lazarus made, the OCA parish in Wilmington has set up a GoFundMe to assist the parish and its members.

On Saturday, Jan. 23, immediately following Vigil, Saint Mary of Egypt is privileged to host a reception for the International Orthodox Christian Charities.

A new page has been added to the parish website to outline how to join the charitable giving and donation programs that St. Mary of Egypt is enrolled in.

As you know, our Ambassador Sunday School Class (3rd - 5th graders) coordinated a fundraising coffee hour in support of IOCCs efforts to aid Syrians affected by the tragedy unfolding in their country.
