LindenStGarage

Thanks to the efforts of Anatol and Alex Siemenczuk and with limited Men's Club assistance, the Linden St. garage was given a much-needed makeover. They donated all the time and materials to the project, and left us with a structure that should stand another 50 years! Following are the various 'before and after' pictures, as a reminder of what it used to look like covered with vines.

Meredith Garretson's Wedding - 10/09/2022

We celebrated a glorious event on October 9th, when our Rector's oldest daughter Meredith shared vows with Simeon Morbey, who hails from from St. Mary's Cathedral in Minneapolis Minnesota. The day was a magical celebration. We wish them both a lifetime of blessings and happiness.

John, Matushka Sophia and their children and spend time getting to know them in a relaxed and casual setting. As they settle into the rectory and start making beautiful memories, the family has put together a registry/wish list of some items they still need. Parishioners are invited to look at the list, but there is absolutely NO OBLIGATION to buy anything. If you so desire, you may also consider joining with other parishioners, friends and/or family members to purchase a larger item from the registry. Again, NO GIFT is necessary to attend; your presence and warm welcome are what will make this gathering of joy, laughter, and fellowship special. RSVP to Allison Steffaro by Thurs., Sept. 10, if you are coming. Let's make the family feel at home in  our parsih community! (NOTE: The registry website link is www.withjoy.com)
