We are deeply grateful to our Lord for pouring out His grace in abundance upon our hearts and for strengthening us to sustain all the trials and temptations during this time. We are also grateful for everyone who joined us in prayer, from near and from afar, and likewise, for everyone who sent us lists of names for commemoration.<\/p><p><strong>Pavilion.<\/strong> By God\u2019s grace, we obtained the necessary building permits and, on July 18, construction work began for the new pavilion. First, the perimeter of the foundation was excavated, after which the forms were assembled and the concrete was poured in multiple stages. By God\u2019s mercy and after much difficult labor in the torrid summer heat, and after having endured a good number of trials, the concrete slab was poured on August 27. The second phase, with God\u2019s help, will begin in September, and will consist of the construction of the wooden structure (Douglas fir).<\/p><p>We thank everyone who has supported us thus far with their donations, prayers, and labor. Each person\u2019s gift and labor were truly indispensable and invaluable. We would like to express our special thanks to Evangelia Zagor\u010di\u0107 and Roxana Crusemire, for the self-sacrifice and devotion with which they helped in preparing the meals and accommodations for our workers.<\/p><p><style type=\"text\/css\">\r\n\t#foogallery-gallery-4439 .fg-image {\r\n        width: 200px;\r\n    }\r\n<\/style>\r\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"foogallery foogallery-container foogallery-default foogallery-lightbox-foobox fg-gutter-10 fg-center fg-default fg-light fg-border-thin fg-shadow-outline fg-loading-default fg-loaded-fade-in fg-caption-hover fg-hover-fade fg-hover-zoom fg-ready\" id=\"foogallery-gallery-4439\" data-foogallery=\"{&quot;item&quot;:{&quot;showCaptionTitle&quot;:true,&quot;showCaptionDescription&quot;:true},&quot;lazy&quot;:true}\" >\r\n\t<div class=\"fg-item fg-type-image fg-idle\"><figure class=\"fg-item-inner\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sfdumitru.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/2022_07_27_cofrag_footing-1.jpg\" data-attachment-id=\"4435\" data-type=\"image\" class=\"fg-thumb\"><span class=\"fg-image-wrap\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"200\" height=\"150\" class=\"skip-lazy fg-image\" data-src-fg=\"https:\/\/sfdumitru.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/cache\/2022\/07\/2022_07_27_cofrag_footing-1\/1764202249.jpg\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%20width%3D%22200%22%20height%3D%22150%22%20viewBox%3D%220%200%20200%20150%22%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" loading=\"eager\"><\/span><span class=\"fg-image-overlay\"><\/span><\/a><figcaption class=\"fg-caption\"><div class=\"fg-caption-inner\"><\/div><\/figcaption><\/figure><div class=\"fg-loader\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fg-item fg-type-image fg-idle\"><figure class=\"fg-item-inner\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sfdumitru.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/2022_07_27_cofrag_footing-4.jpg\" data-attachment-id=\"4438\" data-type=\"image\" class=\"fg-thumb\"><span class=\"fg-image-wrap\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"200\" height=\"150\" class=\"skip-lazy fg-image\" data-src-fg=\"https:\/\/sfdumitru.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/cache\/2022\/07\/2022_07_27_cofrag_footing-4\/234651850.jpg\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%20width%3D%22200%22%20height%3D%22150%22%20viewBox%3D%220%200%20200%20150%22%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" loading=\"eager\"><\/span><span class=\"fg-image-overlay\"><\/span><\/a><figcaption class=\"fg-caption\"><div class=\"fg-caption-inner\"><\/div><\/figcaption><\/figure><div class=\"fg-loader\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fg-item fg-type-image fg-idle\"><figure class=\"fg-item-inner\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sfdumitru.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/slab_2022_08_26_website.png\" data-attachment-id=\"4566\" data-type=\"image\" class=\"fg-thumb\"><span class=\"fg-image-wrap\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"200\" height=\"150\" class=\"skip-lazy fg-image\" data-src-fg=\"https:\/\/sfdumitru.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/cache\/2022\/08\/slab_2022_08_26_website\/4179801616.png\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%20width%3D%22200%22%20height%3D%22150%22%20viewBox%3D%220%200%20200%20150%22%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" loading=\"eager\"><\/span><span class=\"fg-image-overlay\"><\/span><\/a><figcaption class=\"fg-caption\"><div class=\"fg-caption-inner\"><\/div><\/figcaption><\/figure><div class=\"fg-loader\"><\/div><\/div><\/div>\r\n<\/p><p><strong>Icons.<\/strong> With the blessing of His Eminence Nicolae, printed icons are mounted to wood in our monastery.<\/p><p><strong>Pure beeswax candles.<\/strong> Pure beeswax candles are also made in our monastery to adorn the prayer of every Christian.
