Christ is in our midst! He is and always shall be! St. Mary of Egypt Orthodox Monastery is pleased to announce the purchase of a new building for our monthly food distribution program! For over thirteen years, we had used donated space in a warehouse at Pearl and Brookpark Roads, which we were notified would no longer be available to us because the building was to be sold. We were very fortunate to find and negotiate a property in June that we were able to buy. At the beginning of July, the papers were signed and we acquired a food building. |
Shortly before her passing, +Mother Theonymphie met with the General Board members and food program volunteers, who voted unanimously to continue the St. Mary of Egypt outreach programs, with God’s blessing and help. Subsequently, volunteers came together to help renovate the new warehouse. After many weeks of hard work (construction, cleaning and various preparations) by our dedicated workers, renovations were finally completed in early September and we moved into our new building on Saturday, September 14. Food distribution will resume in the next couple of months.
+Mother’s tireless efforts throughout the past twenty-one years and our volunteers’ devotion of time and energy have truly borne fruit in this food program. We received this Orthodox Monastery and its ministries as a legacy from +Mother to the community and we will work to maintain it as she so desired. May +Mother Theonymphie’s memory be eternal.
