PROJECTS
ST. ELIZABETH PROJECT
As a way to remember the work and dedication
of the widowed Preotese (priest wives) of the Episcopate, each year, A.R.F.O.R.A.
sends each of them a greeting card and small monetary gift at Christmas, Pascha
(Easter) and the Feast of St. Parascheva. Please continue to pray for these
exceptional women who sacrificed much together with their husbands in service to
Christ and His Church.

ST. PARASCHEVA PROJECT
In an effort to assist with the missionary
outreach of the Episcopate, each ladies auxiliary is invited to hold at least
one fundraiser during the year, the profits from which they are asked to send to
the Episcopate's Department of Missions to be used to support the needs of
newly-forming parishes across the country. The funds go toward religious
objects for the holy services, service books, clergy vestments, and
supplementing clergy salaries where needed.

"SHARE THE WEALTH"
PROJECT
Recognizing our call to Christian stewardship
and sharing the talents and blessings given to us by God, A.R.F.O.R.A. invites
ladies auxiliaries to "Share the Wealth" by holding a fundraiser and
sending A.R.F.O.R.A. a percentage of the profits. A.R.F.O.R.A., in turn,
contributes a percentage of the portion they receive to an annually designated
charitable cause.

INFORMATION BROCHURES
Caring for the needs and concerns of women,
physically as well as spiritually, A.R.F.O.R.A. has developed informational
brochures in both the English and Romanian languages concerning such topics as
prayer and cancer.

GREAT LENT RETREATS
Recognizing the importance that all women have
opportunities for spiritual nourishment, A.R.F.O.R.A. established that a
spiritual retreat should be hosted by parishes/auxiliaries in each geographic
area (or Deanery where convenient) on the Fifth Saturday of Great Lent each
year. These events are usually open to all women, and even men in many
cases, and everyone is encouraged to participate in them.
