Glory to God! Our parish is continuing to grow (rapidly)! While this is a wonderful thing, and we are thankful, we are truly becoming as squished as sardines!

Thanks be to God and to the generous donations of many people, we have started work on our new chapel and hall on Roosevelt Street. The timing is wonderful—this year marks 100 years since Orthodox relics and icons were brought to Klickitat County (by Queen Marie of Romania). Our ceremonial groundbreaking was held on June 29, 2026.

Through everyone’s very generous donations, and by the grace of God, we have already raised about $1,000,000. We have also been approved for a loan of about $600,000. We believe that this will be enough to get the building enclosed, but we need quite a bit more to finish the project. Won’t you please help us get closer to our goal?

The plans we have are for a chapel/parish hall building all in one. There will be a wall dividing those two areas with large windows. This will assist parents with small children, so they can still see and hear the service from the “narthex” area when little ones need a break. In addition, it will also provide overflow space when services are especially crowded. The wall will be non-load-bearing, so in the future, when the temple is built, the entire space will be transformed into one large parish meeting area. The building will also have a library/bookstore space, a nursery, a large “food prep” area, men’s and women’s bathrooms, and a furnace/utility room.

What a blessing it will be to worship next to our cemetery with loved ones so close by. Please continue to pray for our parish as we grow. May the Panagia and Sts. Joachim and Anna intercede for us all.
