First Friday Community Meals
On the first Friday of the month, we host a dinner at 5 PM that is open to the community at large. Menu varies month to month, usually with a vegetarian option since Friday is normally a fast day for Orthodox Christian.

Blessing Box Pantry
We have a small free to the public pantry box at the southeast corner of our property, which is stocked as needed with nonperishable food items and toiletries to serve our local community. We also have set up an email address (stmarypantry102@gmail.com) where those in the community can contact us and inform us as to any special needs and prayer requests.

Bible Study
Every Sunday we have a Bible study after Liturgy at 12:30 PM that goes over specific books of the Bible, usually one from the New Testament. We also broadcast this via Zoom and Telegram
Book Study
Every Monday evening (starting after the New Year) at 7 PM we will have an online book study where we will be going over Byzantine Theology by Fr John Meyendorff (+1989). Like the Bible study, it will be broadcast via Zoom and Telegram.
