With the blessing of Archbishop Peter we will take up a special collection this Sunday for the thousands of victims of the California wildfires, many of whom lost absolutely everything, including members of their families to the fires. If you will not be present at the Sunday Liturgy this weekend, but you would like to support this collection, please contact our Treasurer, Mikhail Fisenkov, at treasurer@stvladimiraami.org. Mikhail has taken over the Treasurer duties from Marina Edwards with Archbishop Peter’s blessing, although Marina remains part of the parish finance team and parish council and you are welcome to contact her about these sorts of things as well.
