Glory to God! We moved into our new building on Sunday December 15th (2024) which is the feast of St Tryphon (new calendar), apostle to Norway. This is a multipurpose building which also houses a Student Dorm as well as offices. We are accepting students for our dorm from all over the world. Read more about the dorm here. At the moment we have to rent the offices out in order to be able to pay our mortgage. But in the future we hope to use this space for outreach. Please read more about our project here. Any help towards our building fund will help us pay down our mortgage so that we can start using the space for parish ministry. Transaction and wiring information follows further down:
We are currently raising funds for the beatification of our temple. Read more about this project here and watch this video below:
