On Sunday, February 13th after Divine Liturgy, we will be sponsoring fundraising to benefit Our St. Andrew Society. In 1991 Saint Andrew’s Society was established to support the spiritual rebirth of the faithful in Ukraine, especially in charitable outreach. This organization of our Church’s faithful has provided humanitarian assistance to the poor and disenfranchised elderly, by providing meals or food parcels, and to the orphans, with St. Nicholas visitations. These soup kitchens, located in various cities in Ukraine, have provided warm meals, Monday through Friday, for the needy.
