Snow Situation at Church

Аватар пользователя fr. Victor

Dear Brothers & Sisters,

Congratulations to all our wonderful Tatianas on their namesday!

Went over to the church this morning in the van and got stuck at the corner of 17th St. & Shepherd. A number of good neighbors and our caretaker Ilya Zakharov. came to my rescue. Didn't take a photo, but little has changed from the pic I sent you yesterday and am attaching here. The parking situation is impossible. I strongly advise the choirs and other groups to cancel practice. I hope the situation will improve by Saturday.

Kudos to Ilya for doing a magnificent job clearing the snow from the sidewalks around the church and making wide paths to the entrances of the church, hall and kitchen.

Here are links to interesting videos you might consider watching during these snow days:

The first is in English and is by Jonathan Jackson "How I became Orthodox" - Hollywood actor, recipient of five Emmy Awards, at an interview given in "Pemptousia" during his recent visit to the Monastery of Vatopedi, Mt Athos, speaks about how he became Orthodox.

The second video, in Russian, is about the Sviatogorsk Lavra in the Donesk region of the Ukraine, the homeland of St. John of San Francisco & Shanghai:

Enjoy!
