SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT!

Dear Brothers and Sisters, My dear Parishioners,

It is with great pleasure and joy to invite you all for the Great Celebration of the Blessing of the Beginning of Construction of our beloved Church that will take place on Sunday June 20th.  His Grace our Bishop Maxim will be with us to bring his fatherly blessings for this very special occasion.  We have been waiting for nearly half of a century to finally bring the dreams of generations into reality.   This construction, I believe, will bring us all together united in love of our Lord Jesus Christ and love to our special protector St. Michael the Archangel in whose honor this Church will be built.  Years of ‘trials and tribulations’ have passed, and now it is time to show that this generation have enough courage to go through this process and to finish it.  I have no doubt that we, in this process, will show our best: optimism, enthusiasm, effort, and willingness to complete the task.

With so much excitement and firm belief in the success, again I’m asking you to come on June 20th to all be witnesses of this momentous and historic occasion.  May God bless you all!

In Christ,

Fr. Slobodan Jovic 

THE VENERABLE STEPHAN OF PIPERI

This saint was born into the Niksich clan in the village of Zupa of poor but devout parents, Radoje and Jacima. According to tradition, he first lived a life of asceticism in the monastery of Moraca where he was abbot. The Turks drove him out of Moraca and he settled in Rovacki, Turmanj in the place which today is called Celishte. Later, he settled in Piperi in a cell where he remained in labor and god-pleasing asceticism until his death. He died peacefully in the Lord on May 20, 1697 A.D. His relics repose there even today and with many miracles they glorify Christ the God and Stephan, God's chosen one.

FROM FRANCESKA MILINOVICH

I am looking for your help in a project I am starting involving the church.

I have decided to collect supplies to send to children in need around the world.  I am working with the IOCC because they have pre determined packages to send and they share the Orthodox Faith.

I will be at church asking for donations from people for the next three weekends in May.   
I am asking for monetary donations as well as supplies including diapers, blankets, or clothes.  And that I will be collecting for the next three weeks.

I have attached a link below so that you can browse the website yourself and see the organization.

I support this God-loving project and urge our parishioners to participate.  Thank you all! God bless!

Fr. Slobodan Jovic
