Recently all our parishioners living in New Jersey received a copy of the proposal developed by Fr. Jonathan Ivanoff. It is hoped that everyone will read his proposal and contribute to the success of this plan.
Father Ivanoff has published an article in the May/June issue of The Orthodox Church newspaper concerning this topic. It can be found on Page 11 and is recommended reading for all parishioners.
Preliminary work has been done on the parking lot located between the church and School #14. A large hole formed in the area of the parking lot that was recently renovated. This has been filled in, however, paving will be done soon to allow the filled in area to settle.
