The Journey
February 2024
Loan refinanced. Balance: $49,837. The parish committed to paying it off early.

24 months of steady, faithful giving. The balance dropped from $49,837 to $17,261.
March 2026 – Great Lent
The parish surged. Nearly $5,000 given in a single month, bringing the balance to $12,343.
April 2026 – Holy Week
The final gifts came in. The remaining balance was covered.
April 10, 2026 – Great Friday
The debt was laid to rest. The parish hall belongs to the parish, free and clear.
What This Frees
The parish no longer sends $679 every month to a bank and insurance.
That money – and the energy behind it – now belongs to our community.

"Let no one fear death, for the death of our Savior has set us free. He has destroyed it by enduring it. He spoiled Hades when He descended into it. Let no one mourn that they have fallen again and again; for forgiveness has risen from the grave."
St. John Chrysostom – Paschal Homily
A debt that burdened this parish was buried on Great Friday.
On Pascha, we celebrate and rise debt free.

To Every Family Who Gave
Some of you gave large amounts. Some gave in small envelopes month after month. Some gave anonymously. You know who you are, and more importantly, God knows.
Thank you
Glory to God Through His Servants

Memory eternal.
