“I am the light of the world; he who follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” (John 8:12)
We know that at this time it can be difficult to pray from home and not physically be in the church. One of the first things most people do upon entering an Orthodox Church is to light their candle and offer prayers for one’s personal needs or that of a family member or friend. We also light candles to pray for protection and safety so that we may live this life without fear.
We are pleased to offer this ministry of our church to allow you to purchase a candle through this website.
For those wishing to light a candle, press the "Purchase" button and complete the form you are taken to. There you may submit the names of your loved ones, those who are alive and/or those who have departed this life. During these times we would be happy to light the candle for you and read, during the Divine Liturgy, the names that have been submitted.
If you feel called to make a donation to our parish, and are in a situation which allows for it, we would gladly accept any gift you are able to offer.
Our Lord instructed us that "where your treasure is, there your heart will be also" (Matthew 6:21). The Church is the treasure of all our lives, connecting us to God in His heavenly kingdom. May our hearts be in His Kingdom, also.
