It's good that they start it right on the feast of St. Paisius. I will follow him through that new site, https://stpaisios.church, to see how he progresses. God grant that it will end well and have a full church.

It's good that they start it right on the feast of St. Paisius, as Trajce says. I will open https://stpaisios.church to see when they start digging the foundations on Airport Road. God grant that there will be many people from Jordan and from the diaspora.

It's nice they picked St. Paisios's feast day to announce it, just like Trajche and Elena said. I'll check the new site too, stpaisios.church, to see the progress on Airport Road. Hope the church fills up with folks from Jordan and the diaspora when it's done.

Stephen Walker

Yes, tying it to St Paisios's feast day makes sense — those three saints have helped so many of us keep going. I'll have a look at stpaisios.church tonight after choir practice; curious to see the first photos from Airport Road. Have you been to Jordan yourself?

It's good that they announced the construction just on the feast of St. Paisius. I will follow the page https://stpaisios.church to see what the Airport Road church will look like. God grant that a lot of people from Jordan and the diaspora will gather, as the others say.

Matthew Young

Yeah, announcing it on St. Paisios's feast day feels right. I just popped over to stpaisios.church during my lunch break and the renderings of the Airport Road spot already look solid. You planning to visit once it's built, or maybe support from here with the kids?

It’s good that we started on St. Paisius’s day, as everyone writes here. I'll look at the stpaisios.church website after my shift in the kitchen, I wonder what the first photos from Airport Road are like. God grant that the church gathers a lot of people from both Jordan and the Diaspora.

Nicholas Morris

Yeah, announcing it on St Paisios's feast day ties the whole thing together nicely. I had a quick look at stpaisios.church this morning before school and the renderings of the Airport Road site are pretty clear. You thinking of chipping in for one of the icons once they start the interior fit-out?

It’s good that we started on St. Paisius’s day, as everyone writes here. I’ll look at the stpaisios.church website after I water the tomatoes at the dacha, I wonder when they’ll show the first photos from Airport Road. God grant that the church gathers people from both Jordan and the Diaspora.

Well said, Elena, it is precisely on the feast of St. Paisius that he gives special weight to things. I've already opened the site, there are some nice pictures of the site on Airport Road, but now I'm waiting to see when exactly they start digging. Will you call if you find something new there?
