How to Support St. Vladimir's 
9/8/22, 06:00 AM
Posted by Fr. Gregory

People often ask us how they can make donations to St. Vladimir’s other than by making a donation at church. We work continuously to make this as easy for our parish family and friends as we can and we appreciate your feedback in this regard. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT OF YOUR PARISH!

During this time of economic difficulty we need your support more than ever! We understand that your bills are higher now than in the past. But so are the parish bills. AND – we are being asked to help those who cannot pay their own bills because of the economic situation. Please establish a regular tithe in support of the parish which God has entrusted to us! You can do that, and investigate other means of supporting St. Vladimir's at this page:

Make Support of STV a Spiritual Question

Posted by Fr. Gregory

For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
(Matthew 6:21)

St. Vladimir’s Orthodox Church has always, throughout its 40+ year history, been well supported by its parishioners. This is something that we can be proud of and thankful for. However, this is also something that we often do not think very much about. We know that when we are in church on Sunday there will be some sort of collection, but we don’t usually think very much about this, either before the collection or afterwards. We see this as just a part of going to church. However, stewardship, how we use what God has given us, is something that we should consider and something that we should plan.

Monday First Things - Teachings of the Holy Fathers 
8/8/22, 06:00 AM
Posted by Fr. Gregory


Sinful habits and passions do not give way to healing without confession. Without confession, every healing will be incomplete and insufficient, but with confession, the sins will be uprooted in due order. It is always necessary to pay special attention to confession, to always prepare for it carefully, and sincerely confess all of your sins.

Scripture Reading for the Coming Week 
7/8/22, 06:00 PM
Posted by Fr. Gregory

"This is the cause of all evils: the ignorance of the Scriptures. We go into battle without arms, and how ought we to come off safe?" -St. John Chrysostom, Homily IX on Colossians.

In order to help increase the general knowledge of scripture in our parish family we present here for your edification the scripture readings for the coming week. At least one Gospel Reading and one Epistle reading are assigned for each day of the year (although during Great Lent the readings are from the Old Testament). Hearing or reading only those readings appointed for Sunday merely scratches the surface of the great spiritual wealth that the scriptures provide us. Some of the readings are easily understandable – others are less so. As Orthodox Christians we do not make private interpretation of scripture, but rather consult the fathers of the Church for their explanations to aid us in our understanding. Those wishing to have access to such explanations are asked to contact Fr. Gregory or inquire in the kiosk for further reading in this regard. Bibles may also be acquired in the kiosk.

Monday: I Corinthians 11:31-12:6 & Matthew 18:1-11
Tuesday: I Corinthians 12:12-26 & Matthew 18:18-22,19:1-2,13-15
Wednesday: I Corinthians 13:4-14:5 & Matthew 20:1-16
Thursday: I Corinthians 14:6-19 & Matthew 20:17-28
Friday: I Corinthians 14:26-40 & Matthew 21:12-14,17-20
Saturday: Romans 14:6-9 & Matthew 15:32-39

Ïîíåäåëüíèê: I Êîð. 11:31-12:6 è îò Ìàòôåÿ 18:1-11
Âòîðíèê: I Êîð. 12:12-26 è îò Ìàòôåÿ 18:18-22,19:1-2,13-15
Ñðåäà: I Êîð. 13:4-14:5 è îò Ìàòôåÿ 20:1-16
×åòâåðã: I Êîð. 14:6-19 è îò Ìàòôåÿ 20:17-28
Ïÿòíèöà: I Êîð. 14:26-40 è îò Ìàòôåÿ 21:12-14,17-20
Ñóááîòà: Ðèì. 14:6-9 è îò Ìàòôåÿ 15:32-39

Posted by Fr. Gregory

Confession and Communion are the two sacraments we most often partake of as Orthodox Christians and thus it behooves us to learn about these, how to prepare for these, and how to best take advantage of the Grace that our Lord freely gives us in these sacraments. At St. Vladimir’s we have created a special web site for this purpose with much information in this regard. Please find the web site listed below and please contact Fr. Gregory with questions!
