❗Attention Northern New Jersey Parishes❗️In addition to our Annual Parish Picnic, which will take place in September, our parish will have the joy of hosting the first annual Northern New Jersey Inter-Parish Association (IPA) Summer Picnic on Sunday, July 26, 2026.

While many may first think of a popular beverage when they hear the term “IPA,”🍺 in this case it stands for the Inter-Parish Association, a fellowship that brings together Orthodox Christians from across Northern New Jersey for prayer, friendship, and fellowship. The IPA seeks to strengthen the bonds between our local parishes and provide opportunities for clergy and faithful to come together beyond the regular life of their individual communities.

All clergy and faithful of the canonical Orthodox Church are warmly invited, regardless of jurisdiction. Although each parish has its own busy schedule of services and events, this gathering offers a wonderful opportunity to come together as one Orthodox family, renew old friendships, make new ones, and enjoy the blessings of the summer season in a spirit of Christian love and fellowship.

We look forward to welcoming our brothers and sisters from throughout Northern New Jersey and hope that many from our parish family will join us for this joyful occasion!☦️

It is important to take care of our health.

As believers, we should care not only for our spiritual life through prayer and participation in the Holy Mysteries, but also for our bodies, which are a gift from God.

The Orthodox tradition calls us to sobriety, self-discipline, and a responsible attitude toward our health. By giving up harmful habits, we show care not only for ourselves but also for those around us.

It is also important to be a good example for our children. They learn not only from what we say, but from how we live.

Spiritual and physical health should go hand in hand.

Важно следить за своим здоровьем.

Если мы верующие, то должны заботиться не только о духовном здоровье через молитву и участие в Таинствах, но и о своем теле, которое является даром Божиим.

Православная традиция призывает к трезвости, воздержанию и ответственному отношению к своему здоровью. Отказываясь от вредных привычек, мы проявляем заботу не только о себе, но и о своих близких.

Также важно быть добрым примером для своих детей. Они учатся не столько нашим словам, сколько нашим поступкам и образу жизни.

Духовное и телесное здоровье должны идти вместе.

While we are used to seeing our beloved clergy faithfully serving the Church, we can sometimes forget that they are people too. Let us take a moment to thank them and express our appreciation for their dedication and service.
A simple word of appreciation can bring joy, encouragement, and support to someone's day. 🙏

Мы привыкли видеть наших любимых священнослужителей, верно служащих Церкви, и порой забываем, что они тоже люди. Найдите минуту, чтобы поблагодарить их и выразить признательность за их преданное служение.
Простое слово благодарности может принести человеку радость, поддержку и вдохновение. 🙏

“What god is as great as our God? You are the God who alone works wonders.” Once again, the Great Prokeimenon in the 7th tone adorns our liturgical worship, inviting us to reflect on the immense gifts that God bestows upon His children.

This past weekend, we celebrated the great feast of Pentecost—the Birthday of the Church. On the service on Saturday evening and the SundayDivine Liturgy was especially beautiful, as the church was adorned with floral decorations, echoing the first appearance of the Holy Trinity to Abraham. Later, during the Kneeling Vespers, as the deacon and choir proclaimed the Great Prokeimenon, rose petals were cast from the choir loft and joyfully distributed by the children, commemorating the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the Apostles.

We warmly congratulate all our brothers and sisters on this great feast and extend our gratitude to everyone who helped decorate and make the services so meaningful.

Following the Divine Liturgy, the parish young adult group hosted and organized coffee hour for the parish. At the conclusion of the day, the Sunday School presented their end-of-the-year film—a recorded ballet inspired by the events of Pentecost. The children were then given gifts to mark the close of the Sunday School academic year. We especially thank the teachers, parents, and volunteers for their dedication and hard work in fostering a loving and joyful environment where our children can grow in faith.

Happy Pentecost!

Его Преосвященству,
Преосвященнейшему МАТФЕЮ, епископу Сурожскому,
временно управляющему Патриаршими приходами в США и Канаде

Ваше Преосвященство!
Дорогой Владыка и милостивый наш отец!
Христос Воскресе!

От лица духовенства, монашествующих и мирян Сурожской епархии и Патриарших приходов в США и Канаде примите самые сердечные поздравления со знаменательным юбилеем – 55-летием со дня Вашего рождения!
В этот значимый для Вас день, духовенство и паства Ваша с глубокой признательностью возносят молитвы Господу Богу, благодаря Его за Ваши апостольские труды и архипастырское служение, которые охватывают разные континенты и часовые пояса. Во всех окормляемых Вами странах Вы неизменно являете образец мудрого руководства и отеческого попечения, подавая всем высокий пример верности церковному долгу, жертвенной любви и живого исполнения Евангельских слов: «пастырь добрый душу свою полагает за овцы» (Ин. 10:11).
В Вашем лице и священнослужитель, и мирянин всегда обретают милосердного отца, готового поддержать добрым советом, искренним состраданием, мудрым напутствием и безграничной любовью. Ваше молитвенное предстательство укрепляет нас в часы испытаний, а Ваше долготерпение, отзывчивость и неизменная готовность разделить радости и скорби ближних вдохновляют на усердные труды во славу Божию и на благо Святой Церкви. Своей жизнью и служением Вы подтверждаете слова Апостола, стремясь быть «образом верным словом, житием, любовию, духом, верою, чистотою» (1 Тим. 4:12).
В этот благословенный день смиренно просим Пастыреначальника Христа ниспослать Вам неоскудевающую помощь в Вашем святительском делании. Пусть Всемилостивый Господь, укрепляя Вас Своей благодатью и ниспосылая обильные милости, хранит Вас в крепком здравии, в мире душевном и духовной радости на всех путях Вашего высокого служения на благо Святой Православной Церкви и вверенной Вам паствы!

Многая и благая лета, дорогой Владыка!

С сыновней любовью о Господе - духовенство, монашествующие и миряне Сурожской епархии и Патриарших приходов в США и Канаде
