September 17, 2014. A Divine Liturgy with sign language interpretation is to take place at the Church of St. Matrona of Moscow in Penza for the first time in the city's history on September 21.

Interfax-Religion reports that later on divine services with sign language interpretation will be held at this church every first and third Sunday of a month.

Besides, Hieromonk Hilarion (Isaev), Rector of the church, will hold meetings with hearing-impaired people, during which they will be able to ask the Hieromonk questions and make confessions, every Saturday starting from September 20.

An Orthodox Christian hearing-impaired and deaf community opened on the premises of the church on September 1. Hieromonk Hilarion is the head of this community.

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.
