With the blessing of Archbishop Peter we will take up a collection to support Svyatogorsk monastery this coming Sunday. We are asking support for this monastery in that the monastery, being located in eastern Ukraine, continues to house and feed many of the civil war refugees there. The monastery has no political litmus test. They feed and house those in need – no matter which side of the conflict the refugees identify with. Please see the letter sent by the diocesan chancery in this regard at this link:
