"... The true aim of our Christian life consists in the acquisition of the Holy Spirit of God. As for fasts, and vigils, and prayer, and almsgiving, and every good deed done for Christ's sake, they are only means of acquiring the Holy Spirit of God. But mark, my son, only the good deed done for Christ's sake brings us the fruits of the Holy Spirit..."
St. Seraphim Russian Orthodox Church
Dear brothers and sisters in Christ!We have got a wonderful opportunity to have ours and our closed ones names commemorated in the holy places in Moscow, Russia! Our friends, Pavel and Maria Pakhomov, exhibiting their participation in the Christian life of our parish, and providing their help kindly proposed to write down the names for the commemoration for health, or for the reposed souls for all in need here.
In particular, in the women's monastery of the Protection of the Mother of God, where the Holy Relics of newly glorified Saint - Matrona of Moscow - are held. This saint is the holy protectress of our parish Sisterhood.
Also the commemorations can be written at the Church of All Saints in the Krasnoe Selo, Moscow, where the miracle working icon of the Mother of God, called "Pantanassa" is held. This icon is known by miraculous cures from evil spells, witchcrafts, terminal illnesses, in particular cancer decease.
The donations towards the commemorations can be done after the service in the church, or by mail. The commemoration notes are accepted for the monastery of the Protection of the Mother of God or for the Church of All Saints, for single or forty-time commemoration for each name separately.
All questions can be asked by phone or by e-mail, or by leaving a note in our Guest Book with the remark "for commemorations".
