THE APOLYTIKION (HYMN) OF ST. NICHOLAS

An example of the Faith and a life of humility, as a teacher of abstinence you did inspire and lead your flock, and through the truthfulness of your deeds were exalted by greatness, through your humility uplifting all and by poverty gaining wealth. Father and hierarch Nicholas, intercede with Christ our God that our souls may be saved.

Message about Stewardship Dear Fellow Parishioners in Christ:      On the nightly news tonight they featured a story about religion in America. The Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life completed a large nation-wide study and basically found that the percentage of church attending Americans is down and the percentage of people who do not believe in God at all, is up. This news does not surprise me, but it does sadden me.  Click here to read Presvytera Nancy Joanides entire message UPCOMING EVENTS CLICK HERE TO LINK TO OUR COMMUNITY’S CALENDAR!!
