A New and Preferred Way to Donate Online to the Church (with no Fees)

We have added Zeffy as a way to make one-time or monthly donations to Saints Peter and Paul.  You can safely and securely donate Tithes and Offerings, to the Building Fund, Ukrainian Fund, Benevolence Fund or any Specific Collection or fundraiser -- anything you choose.

ZEFFY's unique advantage is that every penny you donate goes to Saints Peter and Paul.  We receive the entire donation without being charge any processing fees.  Zeffy does ask for a voluntary amount to help the offset the costs, but the amount is entirely up to you -- it can be $0 to whatever you wish.

If you have already set up a monthly donation via one of the other methods (PayPal, Venmo or Square) that charges fees, please consider moving it to Zeffy.

You can access it from the Menu above ("Donations/Purchase") or from one of the buttons on the right.

St. Paisius - An Exhortation

PictureSt. Paisius Velichkovsky
I implore and exhort you, my beloved fathers, brethren, and children, in the following:  Love the Lord with all thy soul and all thy heart.  Be righteous and just, submissive, with bowed head and your mind turned towards heaven.  Have contrition towards God and men.  Be a consoler of the sorrowful, patient in trials, and not given to irritation, bountiful, merciful, a feeder of the poor, receiver of strangers, sorrowful for the sake of sins, joyful in God, hungry and thirsty, meek, patient, not a lover of glory, not a lover of gold, a lover of your neighbor, not hypocritical, not proud, a lover of labor for the sake of God, silent, pleasant in replies, fervent in fasting, in frequent prayers, vigils, and psalm-singing, sensible.  Do not judge any man, but condemn yourself.  And for this you will be the child of the Gospel, the son of the Resurrection, the inheritor of life in Christ Jesus our Lord.  To Him may there be honor and power and worship, with the Father and the Most Holy Spirit, both now and ever and unto the ages of ages.  Amen.
