On Saturday, November 1, 2014, divine services will commence at St John of Kronstadt Church in Utica, NY, officiated by His Eminence Metropolitan Hilarion of Eastern America and New York, First Hierarch of the Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia, along with His Grace Bishop Peter of Cleveland, Administrator of the Diocese of Chicago and Mid-America and His Grace Bishop Nicholas of Manhattan. More information is available on the parish website: stjkutica.org

With the blessing of Metropolitan Hilarion, His Grace Bishop John of Naro-Fominsk, Administrator of the Patriarchal Parishes of the Moscow Patriarchate, will officiate at Divine Liturgy at St Seraphim Memorial Church of the Reestablishment of Unity within the Russian Orthodox Church in Sea Cliff, NY, on November 1 .

Since you are here…

…we do have a small request. More and more people visit Orthodoxy and the World website. However, resources for editorial are scarce. In comparison to some mass media, we do not make paid subscription. It is our deepest belief that preaching Christ for money is wrong.

Having said that, Pravmir provides daily articles from an autonomous news service, weekly wall newspaper for churches, lectorium, photos, videos, hosting and servers. Editors and translators work together towards one goal: to make our four websites possible - Pravmir.ru, Neinvalid.ru, Matrony.ru and Pravmir.com. Therefore our request for help is understandable.

For example, 5 euros a month is it a lot or little? A cup of coffee? It is not that much for a family budget, but it is a significant amount for Pravmir.

If everyone reading Pravmir could donate 5 euros a month, they would contribute greatly to our ability to spread the word of Christ, Orthodoxy, life's purpose, family and society.
