Why We Give
"Supporting our Orthodox church has deepened my spiritual life. Knowing that my gifts help preserve our ancient traditions and serve our community brings me great joy."
"Our family gives monthly because we've seen firsthand how donations help families in need and support the beautiful liturgical life that nourishes our souls."
"Every time I participate in Divine Liturgy, I'm reminded of how blessed we are to have this sacred space. My giving is a small way to say thank you to God."
