Church Wine

It has recently been brought to our attention that the Eastern Diocese of the Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia now has a new place to get altar wine. Orthodox altar wine has a special classification and must meet certain Church requirements; this company does that. Please visit the website at http://www.varietycandles.com/.

The Hermitage of the Holy Cross Monastery Work Week

This is a letter from Hiermonk Alexander of Holy Cross Monastery:

“Dear Work Weekers Old and New!

Christ is Risen!!!

As some of us have discussed, there will be another Work Week here at the Hermitage of the Holy Cross June 6-12. This time, I thought it would be best to organize the event in conjunction with the Eastern American Diocese and the new diocesan organization “Volunteers in Mission” headed by Fr. John Moses. The Eastern American Diocese website has posted the official announcement here:

Click on the link to pull up the application in pdf form.
You can mail your application in to Fr. John (address on the application), or even better, scan and email to him at: frj1951@yahoo.com

I know that for many of you, the circumstances of your life have changed and you will not be able to attend. But I am counting on you to spread the word to those who would like to participate. Facebook, Orthodox Circle – however you wish – please pass this around and come if you can.

We are not charging a fee for attendance, but do need to raise some money for food and for building materials. Please keep that in mind and do what you can.

With love in Christ,
Fr. Alexander
