Dear SPOC family,
Joyous Feast of the Nativity of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! With much gratitude, we come before you again this year to give thanks to God and His beloved saints for help and guidance, to Saint Paraskeva in particular for her unceasing protection and intercession, and, last but not least, to you, our donors and volunteers, and supporters for your prayers generosity and time gifted to those impacted by Saint Paraskeva Orthodox Charity.
The year 2025 has yielded a bountiful harvest as SPOC awarded close to $200,000 to 22 different projects across Romania and in the United States. Thousands of beneficiaries are orphans, abandoned children, elderly, women facing pregnancy crisis and families in special social circumstances. Parishes have been supported to maintain our faith and respond to their community needs.
Thank you! Your giving hearts and prayers made this possible. As Proverbs 11:25 says :”a generous person will prosper; whoever refreshes others will be refreshed.” May you and your loved ones be refreshed with God’s joy and peace, and may you prosper in all things good for the soul.
Merry Christmas and a Blessed, Happy New Year!
Christ is Born!
Mariana Cuceu
President Saint Paraskeva Orthodox Charity
