Theophany Works Partnership with the Orthodox (ROCOR) Missions in the Philippines:
Theophany Works seeks to help bolster the work of Father Felipe and the growth of the Church in the Philippines. Presently we are endeavoring to supply iconography to the Mission Parish of The Three Holy Hierarchs in Quezon City, and future Skete of the Parakletos in Bagio City (which has been given a blessing, but must raise funds to begin).
With your support as a patron of Theophany Works (Purchasing available products), you enable us to support beautification of the mission parish as well as allows us the means to help financially provide for the future skete. These two aspects of Church, parish and monastic life are essential to the growth of a healthy Orthodox Christian community in those lands. We likewise will receive donations on behalf of this mission, if you so desire!
More than anything, we ask you to join us in prayer, entreating the Mother of God, the Three Holy Hierarchs and all the Saints that God grant increase to the harvest within the Philippines, that many souls would receive entrance into the Church of Christ and walk the path of salvation.
