Donate in Memory of George Zugravu
As many of you know, George Zugravu, beloved son of Fr. George recently fell asleep in the Lord following a courageous battle with cancer. Fr. George and his family have been deeply touched and grateful for the many prayers, understanding and kindness shown to them by our parishioners over the past two years and especially at this most difficult time. Community members have reached out asking how to help as the family is facing the journey ahead: the Go Fund Me originally created to help with medical expenses is still currently open and anyone wishing to assist in this way may do so at https://gofund.me/c8d14f47. Please continue to keep George and the family in your prayers as they face the arduous journey ahead.
