We are in the process of establishing our corporation in the name of Nativity of the Mother of God. Once our 501 c3 non profit has been approved, we will begin taking donations. We expect this to be ready by April 30th. After this has been granted we will begin gathering funds to purchase a building or property and, through the blessing of our wonderful bishops, establish a place where heaven meets earth.
