You are invited to come to St. Nicholas church for the Fall Retreat on November 7-8, 2025. A guest speaker Fr. Steven Hoskins will make a presentation with a movie and lecture on a topic of Newly Canonized Righteous Olga of Kwethluk, Alaska. “St. Olga, the holy daughter of the Orthodox Christian Yup’ik people, the holy shoot of the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta, shines forth with the love of God for all the world. For sixty-two years, she made Christ present to the Yup’ik faithful and the faithful throughout Alaska. Now, she has gone to dwell with God, who dwells beyond the stars. Now, in Him, St. Olga is present and active throughout the world, working wonders and performing healings for the faithful throughout time and space. She is a wonderworker “through whom Christ grants us swift cures, saving reproofs, and a mighty ally in spiritual battle.” St. Olga, whose love and compassion knew no bounds during this present life, now boundlessly shares her love, animated by the love of God, with people throughout the world. She, who made the Infinite One concretely present in Kwethluk during her earthly ministry as a midwife and matushka, now continues to share His compassion, His healing, His mercy, and His joy with faithful people throughout the world.”
Schedule of the event is as follows:
Friday, November 7th at 5:30pm: Vespers service followed by a potluck meal and session one with a movie.
Saturday, November 8th at 9:30am: Divine Liturgy service followed by lunch, second session and Vespers service.
