Glory be to God we have a beautiful church, social center and picnic grounds! This did not come without a lot of old-fashioned hard work and devotion. Our church is argued to be one of the, if not the, most beautiful in our entire diocese. And thanks to our dedicated congregation, it always looks clean and inviting.

However, when reflecting on the beauty of its handcarved iconostasis and handpainted icons, one pauses when seeing the stark contrast to this delicate handiwork when noticing our plain white walls. Have you ever been to a completely-frescoed church? Where every where you look tells a story from either the Old or New Testament, or even sometimes the lives of modern-day saints? It's overwhelming to say the least, and at the same time completely calming. It has been described on more than one occasion as the true representation of Heaven on Earth.

We are very fortunate to have as our neighbor, the world-renown iconographer, Fr. Theodore Jurewicz, priest to the Church of the Nativity Russian Orthodox Church in Erie. Only one hour away is one of the greatest Orthodox painters of our time! Fr. Theodore has visited our parish numerous times and has surveyed the church to be ripe for frescoes.

Years ago a Fresco Fund was started to raise money for such a project and we've collected a a few thousand dollars over the years.  But NOW is the time for us to focus on getting this project underway! You can give your donation to our Church Board Treasurer, Francine Fabian, with the memo area marked "Fresco Fund." Let's work together to complete the interior of our church for the glory of God and the inspiration of men!
