St. Mary's Orthodox Church, Yonkers, NY - Time of Need

Want to join me in making a difference? I'm raising money to benefit St. Mary's Russian Orthodox Greek Catholic Church, and any donation will help make an impact. Thanks in advance for your contribution to this cause that means so much to me. Please see more details below.

I write to you in pledge of support and ask for your help. Our pastor, Father David Kossey is undergoing a personal trial as he now pursues his second round of chemotherapy treatments and a bone marrow transplant. With God's help, this will give him a greater edge in his struggle against Leukemia, with which he was diagnosed and treated for almost immediately. Prayers for Father David, Pani Paula, and their family have gone out to the Diocese; of those wrapping themselves around them are more important than any other. May God grant Father David healing and continued strength in both body and soul. Pray for him.

St. Mary's Church has a serious financial need if the church is going to continue to compensate and support the important needs of her priest, provide for a Sunday substitute, and afford all other relevant expenses. With the intention of fundraising what is needed for one full year to afford exactly that, the church is setting a collection goal of $50,000. This fundraising goal will not be met with regular contributions; it will take prayer, consideration, and generous giving. This is a good and worthy effort and an effort like this is worth everything. Please consider making a contribution. May God Bless You.
