Can you help us? 

We need your help planting roots here in Tucson. We own 2.5 acres of cactus-filled land, purchased with your support three years ago. 

Now is the time to start moving forward. We need your help.

Our mission plans to start building our phase 1 building in 2026. We don't want to get stuck in our rental property. We need to keep moving forward.

Our phase 1 building will get us onto the property. It includes a temporary church, hall, kitchen, classrooms, office and bookstore. But the cost to make this happen is a huge undertaking. That is why we are raising money now.

This is the second year that our parish has set the goal to raise $230,000. Last year, we met our goal (Congratulations!) and now we're on the second half of our goal to ultimately raise $460,000. By 2026, we hope to have enough funds to move forward with getting a loan to build the phase 1 building so we can move our community to its permanent home, sooner rather than later.

Picture this: a Russian Orthodox church in the Sonoran Desert where cactus and cupola meet. A place for all to visit, especially during the winters when you need a respite from the snowy north.

Can we do this together?
