St. Anne's donates $280 in support of the Translation Project
With pastoral blessing of the priest Fr Stephen Freeman, the Parish of
St Anne has donated a generous gift of $280 to the Chinese Orthodox
Translation Project. This contribution will be doubled by the $3,000
matching grant by The Order of St. Ignatius of Antioch to use towards
the completion of the translation effort of the Prologue from Ochrid,
a daily compilation of saints' lives and other devotional material by
St Nikolai of Zica into Chinese.  

Last year at Pascha the parish had the joy of receiving a family into
Holy Orthodoxy with strong Chinese connections. The wife is from
Taiwan, and the husband, though American, translates Chinese-English
for a living. Their natural interest in Orthodoxy in China has helped
raise the parish's knowledge and interest in this wonderful mission of
the Church. The parish prays for this work and ask that God would
bless it and enrich it in every way.

With your prayers and support, translation of the daily readings for
February is near completion. Now is the best time to maximize your
contributions, as all donations will be matched dollar for dollar by
the Order of St Ignatius of Antioch up to $3,000. For a limited time,
request a free booklet on the Chinese Martyrs sent to you or a
designated recipient. Make your tax-deductible donations made payable
to "Chinese Translation Project / St Mary's Church" and mail to:

You can even sponsor a specific day for the good health or in memory of
loved one, for a names day, wedding anniversary, day of repose, or any
other special occasion, which will be noted on the bottom of each
entry of the prologue, and those reading the daily devotion for that
day can pray for your loved ones. Email Nelson Mitrophan Chin at  
mitrophan@orthodox.cn for availability of a requested day.
