St. Philaret the Merciful 
Dear Faithful of Saints Peter and Paul, 
The blessing of the Holy Trinity be upon you!

Wonderful news for our future Parish Hall!
I just received an email from Craig Abraham, Chairman of our Diocese Executive Committee.  He writes: 
...the Executive Committee of DOWAMA, has selected St Peter's and Paul Orthodox Church in Topeka, KS to receive funding from the Mission Fund as well as the Bishop Basil Endowment Fund. The amount you will be receiving will be $100,000.00 from the Mission Fund in DOWAMA and $40,000.00 from the Bishop Basil Endowment Fund. The funding will come in two payments; the first payment will come from the Mission Fund from our treasurer Jeff Massad the second portion has been requested from the Archdioceses and we are waiting on an approval from them.
Glory to Jesus Christ!  Please join me in giving thanks to God on receiving this grant.  This will help us reach our goal of raising $500,000.00 before we break ground and contribute to the total estimated cost of the Parish Hall being between $1.5 and $1.75 million dollars.
