    I really love and respect a lot of labor and work that was made by Main PRIEST Joann Barbus and his assistants for making this church beautiful. I mean construction work and all attempt hard work to make church beautiful place for attending. Let Lord blessed that workers and their families . Service made in russian that also important cause almost all orthodox churches in USA make service in English that is not convenient for russian speaking people. That what I like at this church.

    I do feel two totally different side of scale.First is spiritually feeling everybody entering that doors of this wonderful saint church and Second side of scale..........parish people behavior. To say more - young Moldova people.First thing I do feel is Love of Our Lord to every person coming to... Second is zombie like behaviour of young Moldova people. Facts? Always ignore other people not saying any greetings just don't want to say hello for those who are outside their nation circle don't want to even make nod or say hi. Ignoring tottaly others,except their Moldova nation people. That is my sad and PAINFUL expirence ,during 4 or 5 years of working at this parish as kliros singer and reader . Disgusting behaviour during liturgy. Letting their kids get a lot of noise,don't even want to controll their kids during liturgy. Singing at church choir is important part of service, according the rules and respect to LORD and saint service of Sunday. Tis is common sence there must nobody have to be on kliros except church singers, no distractions but full discipline and order to sing well. But tell me,is it normal,when church singer,get the little kid on kliros,while singing at liturgy,putting on his arms, and small boy or girl make noise and mess right incide the kliros during singing? I never saw that before in any orthodox church I attend. PRIEST don't make any restrictions and ATTENCION about that ,cause it seems that normal. But it isn't normal. Wether you come or whether you don't come anymre, nobody care . No asking no ATTENCION . I stop working at this parish,cause I hoped to find the place at this community of orthodox Christian people where somebody hope and glad to see each other glad you come! But I saw careless and zombie like Moldova young people who can see their nation represantitive only. For others ,they got no reaction like others just dont exist. THATS WHY I STOP ATTEND THIS PEOPLE THERE BUT NOT STOP ATTENDING OUR SAINT ORTHODOX CHURCH AT OTHER PLACES.
