St. Andrew House establishes Fund to defray Alaskan clergy travel costs

Will match the first $10,000 of donations made by Pascha

DETROIT - Recognizing the need caused by the tremendous cost of travel involved for our Orthodox brethren in Alaska,  St. Andrew House Center for Orthodox Christian Studies hereby offers to match any and all donations, up to $10,000, made by Pascha (April 27, 2008), for the purpose of defraying flight costs for those clergy in Alaska wishing to travel from outlying areas to meet with Archbishop Nathaniel and Bishop Tikhon during their fact finding in Alaska.

We are both honored and humbled to be able to extend a helping hand in this time of need to our Orthodox brethren in Alaska, the birthplace of Orthodoxy in North America and the home of many of the saints of North America.  Please accept our humble offering to His Church.

To all of you in “the lower 48” who have asked St. Andrew House over the years how you can support our efforts – the time is now! We appeal to you to join us in this worthwhile endeavor.

To donate, please send a check to:
