On Saturday 23 April our parish will take up a collection to benefit the Russian Ecclesiastical Mission in Jerusalem.  This collection is customarily taken up on Palm Sunday every year in all the parishes, monasteries and missions of our Russian Orthodox Church outside Russia.  As we will not have a service on Palm Sunday this year it will be taken up at Divine Liturgy on the preceding day, Lazarus Saturday. Collection envelopes will be available in church as of Sunday 17 April.  Please give generously!  Those who wish to make a donation online may do so here.
