Dear parishioners and friends of St. Peter and St. Paul Russian Orthodox Cathedral!

Rector of our church archpriest Anatoliy Melnyk and Parish Council are calling on all our parishioners to consider financial assistance with major repairs our church roof needs. The estimated cost of this work is $50,000 CAD and it is to be carried out in several stages during 2011-2012.

To make your donation you have various options available. A collection box has been installed in the church next to the central analogion. You can participate in special collections that will be organized once a month at the end of the Divine Liturgy. You can also pay by cheque made payable to SS. Peter and Paul Russian Orthodox Cathedral (please do not send cash through the mail!). Please do not forget that your donations give you the right for a tax credit.

We greatly appreciate and count on your continuous support!

“Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.” (Luca 6:38)

May the blessings of God rest upon you!

Rector and Parish Council of Sts. Peter and Paul Cathedral
