St Modestus, Patriarch of Jerusalem.
Commemorated December 18 in the Orthodox Christian Menaion
From the Prologue
He was only five months old when his parents died, but, by God's providence, he was brought up in a Christian spirit. When he was grown up, he was sold as a slave to a pagan in Egypt, but he succeeded in bringing his owner to the Christian faith, and he freed him. He withdrew to Mount Sinai, where he lived in asceticism. He was then chosen as Patriarch of Jerusalem, and governed Christ's flock like a true shepard, entering peacefuly into rest in 634.
From The Prologue From Ochrid by Bishop Nikolai Velimirovich

Be the benefactor of an Orthodox temple! We have been in our new temple since June 2010. The cost was much higher than budgeted and our debt burden is very high. Donations to our building fund will help us pay down the debt so we can afford to build the iconostasis.

Help our prison minstry! I see almost 30 men in 3 prisons. I visit each prison twice a month, and serve Divine Liturgy once a month in each prison. There have been 11 baptisms, and 4 more are planned in 2016. Monthly travel costs alone are about $600.00, not to mention postage, toner, printing, books, etc. The parish cannot fund the prison ministry at this time. Please consider a one time donation, or contact me for a small monthly donation. also contact me if you know of someone in the Texas prison system whom I should contact. I pray for prison benefactors. God bless you! Priest Seraphim Sept 2015
