OUTREACH UPDATE:

Our Outreach coffee collection (>41 cans coffee +creamer & sugar) was delivered this week to St. Herman's House of Hospitality. On behalf of the monastery's guests and Abbot Father Henry, Reverend Father Vladamir was very thankful for your generosity and compassion.  If you'd like more information about what St. Herman's does, items they need, or volunteer opportunities, their website is very interesting:
