CALL.



Russian orthodox religious association of the Resurrection
( Law of I - VII - on 1901 - J.O. N 20 of 24 - 1 - on 1929)


CALL  
to all our orthodox Christian friends of the Diaspora, to the friends of Meudon and to the souls of willingness.



Dear fathers, brothers and sisters in Christ!

The Russian orthodox parish of Meudon ( FRANCE ), one of the most oldest parishes of the Russian immigration, has just celebrated its 80 years of existence.

The weak point has always been the lack of priestly premises for its parochial activities. Today, the Lord gives us the possibility of reaching this project which holds us heart and which answers our needs.

Now recently, we learnt that a small business premises quite close to our church were put on sale by one of our neighbors, retired.

The owner arranged well towards us, proposes us his premises at an advantageous price, in consideration at real estate prices to Meudon and to our financial possibilities.

This premise, of a surface of 27 square meters approximately, is lesser than two minutes on foot of the church, at the ground floor of a small brick-built building.



The essential interest of these premises would be to develop a bigger parochial activity in the service of our community:

* Give courses, teachings, of catechism to the children
* Allow rehearsals of songs which take place every Saturday
* Serve as place of reception and as friendly meeting between the parishioners after divine liturgy.
* Gives  an accommodation, an hosting place for our Bishop during his visits and a place of retreat for the celebrating priest, arriving by far. Especially in period of Big Fast when offices are twice celebrated a day, in the morning and evening.


So, with the blessing of our Bishop Michel of Geneva and Western Europe, during our last General assembly of the parishioners it was decided to buy these premises for the needs of our community.

The price of the purchase exceeds our financial possibilities which cover only a third party of the planned expense, that is why we appeal to your generosity. We have to find 50 000 euro.

You can help us by sending your donations to the address of the church:

Eglise de la Résurrection du Christ

Checks should be sent to : A.C.O.R. (Association cultuelle orthodoxe russe).
