New Icons...........
Following the recent renovation, it was decided to add two new icons to the back wall of the church. The icons of St. Anne, the mother of St. Mary, and St. Elizabeth, the mother of St. John the Baptist, will be commissioned in the near future and they will be placed on the back wall.

Also, a new icon stand will be purchased to hold the icon of St. Andrew. Parishioner Nancy Filak has been elected governor of the New Jersey District FOCA (Fellowship of Orthodox Christians in America). While she is District Governor, her parish is the home of the icon of St. Andrew, Patron Saint of the organization. It will be prominently displayed in the front of the church during her term in office.
On December 25, following Divine Liturgy, our parishioners, along with their relatives and friends joined with each other to celebrate the Nativity of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. It was a wonderful time for all to worship together and then to wish each other joy and love at a luncheon sponsored by the parish. Pictures of the event are on the pictures’ page. Many thanks go to Nancy Filak and Marilyn Stagen who ably arranged the delicious food that was served. Many Years!
