Calendar - Eastern Orthodox Clergy Association of Mahoning Valley

Most of you know what the American Cross looks like. It has the Greek style cross on the outside and the slavic style cross on the inside of the cross itself. This combination blends the two to make a single cross. The letters IC on one side and XC on the other side, and the word ORTHODOXY is printed down the Middle. These " Car ,or Refrigeratorar Magnets, "cost $5/each and will help the Juniors of St. John the Baptist Carpatho- Russian Church in Sharon, Pa. with the cost of going to their National ACRY Convention. (Please contact Fr. Dn. John Anderson at (724)699-6891) or email him at frdeaconjohn@gmail.com for more Information.
