Support our parish scrip program
Our scrip program has been active for several years now. It's easy for you to participate and support the parish through your REGULAR shopping. Each Sunday, scrip is for sale in the hall during coffee hour. Stop by and pick some gift cards to use when you are buying groceries, filling up the car at the gas station, eating out, etc. A percentage of your spending comes back to the church. Every little bit you can purchase becomes a significant amount when all our spending is pooled together. Simple. Easy. Convenient. And HELPFUL to our church!
Events for Families and Individuals
Weight Watchers meets on Thursdays at 6 PM at St. Mary's Orthodox Center.

A simple way to support our church
What if our parish earned a penny every time you searched the Internet? Well, now we can!
GoodSearch.com is a new search engine that donates half its revenue, about a penny per search, to the charities its users designate. You use it just as you would any search engine, and it's powered by Yahoo!, so you get great results.
Just go to www.goodsearch.com and be sure to enter Protection of the Virgin Mary Orthodox Church as the charity you want to support. Just 100 of us searching two times a day will raise about $730 in a year without anyone spending a dime! And, be sure to spread the word!
