IOCC Dinner Thank you to all who were able to attend the IOCC Fund Raising Banqet on Saturday November 14. This first ever event was a huge success and we want to thank everyone who bought tickets and made donations. We raised over $14,000, which means the IOCC can receive grants for over $98,000. Thank you also to those who gave their time and talents to plan this wonderful event, and to the people who donated the food, wine and entertainment. Great job Orthodox Churches of New Mexico!

St. Elias Online Bookstore We have an online bookstore for our use. Go to our website: http://www.stelias.nm.goarch.org and click on the link to the St. Elias Bookstore at the top of the page. You will be taken to the Orthodox Marketplace, an online store for Orthodox books, jewelry, icons, and most anything else you may want. We will receive a 10% commission on all purchase made at this site.

Recycling for St. Elias We have found another outlet for used toner cartridges and inkjet cartridges, and this company will pay us directly for what we give them. When it`s time to get a new cartridge, please bring the used one to church, in its packing if possible, and we will recycle it. Every bit that we recycle means more funds for our parish. Please help with this free and painless way to raise money and protect the environment.


Do You Know? If you know of people who are sick, or in the hospital, or need help, please tell Fr. Demetri so he can minister to them.
