“Those who have truly decided to serve the Lord God should practice the remembrance of God and uninterrupted prayer to Jesus Christ, mentally saying: Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner.”
Saint Seraphim of Sarov
OCA News.......
The OCA has organized “Town Hall” meetings across the nation to allow members of our church to voice their concerns over the current scandal turmoil plaguing our church. All across the country, people have been able to speak out on all the different facets of the scandal. Recently one of these “Town Hall” meetings was held in Ss. Peter and Paul Orthodox Church in South River, NJ. Clergy and lay members in attendance stated their concerns in the presence of Metropolitan Herman.

It is important for these people to state their fears and anxiety for the future of our church, however, it is even more important for those listening to take these concerns to heart and do what is right for the church.
Happy Birthday to all our parishioners celebrating
a birthday in August.
