Don’t forget: there are other programs besides the full time program. CHECK OUT OUR WEB SITE TO LEARN MORE! When we start posting information on Social Media (this week or next) spread that with zeal! We all have work to do to make sure our school is successful – join the winning team and let’s make this happen! And if you have ideas about how to best spread the word, please share those with us!

FIVE: PRAYERS AFTER MEALS – please begin to use this prayer at home so that when we finish our meals at STV the priest is not singing a solo. :) Everyone should know this short prayer because everyone should be using it after each meal they partake of every day. For most people that is 3 times a day, or 1095 times per year. If one partakes of Holy Communion every Sunday then we could remove 52 of those prayers (since we don't have breakfast before Communion), bringing us to 1043 times per year. I am confident that after less than a year everyone will know these prayers as well as we all know “Our Father” and we will boom out our thanksgiving to God every Sunday after our meal! Let us strive to make it so!

FOR THE FUTURE: We need more catechists to assist our priests in preparing inquirers to become Catechumens and eventually: Orthodox Christians. Особенно русскоязычные! Training is available. Please contact one of our priests to learn more!

See you soon at STV!

Fr. Gregory
