An Appeal

Dear Friends in Christ, 

Christ is Risen! He is Risen indeed!

After 20 years of using borrowed premises, our Orthodox Community of the Holy and Life Giving Cross has found a building for a Temple that will serve the needs of the Orthodox Christians in the Lancaster area. To this end, we are making an appeal to help raise funds to cover the rent and other needs of the Church on a permanent basis. 

Apart from your much needed prayers, if you would like to support our fund raiser, you can donate using the following bank account : 

Bank: Nationwide Building Society 14/16 Market Street Lancaster, LA1 1HJ
Account holder's name: The Orthodox Church of the Holy Cross
IBAN: GB09 NAIA 0700 5572 8795 61
BIC : NAIAGB21
SWIFT: MIDLGB22

We give thanks for the special ministry that God has given to us over two decades serving particularly the Liturgical and Pastoral needs of Orthodox students at Lancaster University. We aim to continue this ministry but to broaden it to serve the families who now attend our Community.

We are indeed blessed in having support from so many former parishioners ”Stavronians” and having our extended family who offer prayers and donations to us from Cyprus, Greece, Romania, USA and elsewhere.

We ask your prayers in this holy task which is now before us and ask a blessing upon you in the name of the Holy, Consubstantial, Life-Giving and Undivided Trinity.

May God prosper this little plant in His Vineyard!
Fr. Jonathan
