The Holy Prophet Haggai.
December 16
From the Prologue
Born in Babylon in the time of the captivity of Israel, he was of the tribe of Levi. He prophesied in 520 B.C., and visited Jerusalem as a young man. He urged Zerubbabel and Joshua the priest to restore the Temple of the Lord in Jerusalem, prophesying for this Temple greater glory than the former Temple of Solomon: 'The glory of this latter house shall be greater than that of the former, saith the Lord of Hosts' (2:9), for the Lord, the Saviour, would appear in the new Temple. He lived to see the first half of the new Temple completed by Zerubbabel, and died in old age, and rested with his fathers.
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.
You may also send funds to: St Nicholas Orthodox Church

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
