Letter of exhortation and joy
Building for the present and the future
Beloved friends of the Monastery,
By the mercy of God, with great joy we are announcing that we have received all the approvals from the city to start construction of the Pavilion, a multifunctional building that we will be able to use during Spring, Summer and Fall. Until we build a larger church, the monastery will use the chapel and also the Pavilion to conduct its Holy Liturgical Services throughout the year.
Please keep this important project in your prayers and thoughts. Thank you very much for your generous ongoing financial support of our monastery.
May the blessings of the Lord be ever upon our Holy Monastery and all its donors and benefactors.
"God bless the works that are carried out in this holy and venerable monastery for the glory of God and may they be successfully completed, with the grace and the work of the Holy Spirit, let us pray to the Lord".
Prayerfully yours in Christ’s service
Hieromonk Polycarp
