$50,000.00
Can we raise $300,000 towards the New St. Nicholas House in 2022? God willing, we can! Generous friends have already pledged $50,000 as a matching-donation challenge for the month of May. Every dollar raised this month, up to $50,000 will be doubled!

Upcoming Schedule
I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the LORD.
