Dear Readers and Supporters: Last March I told you about an anonymous long time friend and supporter of this ministry who fell on hard times, and a generous portion of you volunteered to help her financially to prevent her eviction and car repossession. Unfortunately, once again she and her child are in a similar difficult position, though a little bit worse. I hate to see this happen to her and not try to help in any way. So if once again you can help out with a financial contribution, it would be greatly appreciated. You can contribute to her through the link below. My hope is that we can raise around $3000. Thank you.

Saint Daniel of Shuzhgorsk

St. Daniel of Shuzhgorsk (Feast Day - September 21)

Saint Daniel of Shuzhgorsk (Shugh Hill) was born in Moscow in the sixteenth-seventeenth century. He performed his ascetic labors in northern Rus, where he became a monk at the Monastery of Saint Cornelius of Komel. Having left the monastery he continued a solitary ascetic life in the unpopulated and forested White Lake hinterland, on a mountain named Shugh Hill. Here the holy ascetic founded his monastery in honor of the Transfiguration of the Lord. Saint Daniel was buried at the temple in honor of the Transfiguration of the Lord at the monastery that he founded. In 1764, the monastery was turned into a parish. He was canonized in 1831. Currently, the temple is ruined, and the grave of the Saint has not been preserved.
