Sponsor an Icon

We are very fortunate to have here in our parish Fr. Matthew Garrett, a talented iconographer, who has undertaken to decorate the interior of our Church. Fr. Matthew has proposed a plan of icons which will be executed as it becomes possible throughout the next several years. Fr. Matthew has made some suggestions of icons that would be appropriate in particular places however he is also open to suggestions that you may have of particular saints or feasts that you would like to see in our Church. This undertaking, however, will occupy much of his time and thus compromise his ability to support himself and his family as he earns his living by painting icons. Please consider sponsoring an icon to help defray the costs involved. Prices are listed below. If you cannot sponsor an icon right away or by yourself, consider a few options. Two or more families could join together to sponsor an icon that would be out of the reach of any one family. A monthly pledge could be made to sponsor an icon so that a little each month would be contributed towards its completion. Also, we will be establishing a general fund for the “decoration of the Church” to which you can donate any amount on a regular basis which will be used (at least in part) to support Fr. Matthew’s work.

If you would like to sponsor a particular icon or have other suggestions, send a message to Fr. David or Fr. Matthew via the Contact page. Payments can be made via check or with the PayPal button at the bottom of the home page - be sure to include a note with the payment if it is for a particular icon or toward the iconography in general.

Many of the icons have been completed, some are sponsored but not yet done, and others are still available for sponsorship. Icons highlighted in blue are the ones available for sponsorship. The others are completed or sponsored as noted.
