Help Furnish God's House

Since the Covenant, it has been important to bring an offering to God.  Bakers would bring the bread that would be used for communion and tailors the clothes, with the excess distributed to the poor and needy.   However in the modern world of electronic giving in lieu of this we usually light candles as a representation of this offering and as a way of symbolizing our prayer intentions before God.  The candles can be purchased for a suggested donation at the back of the church.   

However, donations to enable the liturgy are strongly encouraged, 
  • ​
  • Wine:  The wine is a sweet kosher style wine, either a  Mavrodaphne (Another), Kagor or Nama wines, or in a pinch, a Kosher Concord  can work.  You can pick these up in the desert wine section of the LCBO.
  • Bread/Prosphora:   We have a group of people that prepare Prosphora.  Consider becoming part of the Agape ministry group if you want to help. 
  • Incense:   Can be purchased online or from Serano Bakery, Highland Farms and other places in the city. No stick incense.  Charcoal can be bought at the same place and is appreciated.
  • Candles: Tapers and vigil lamps are available at the back of church by donation.
  • Icons and Liturgical Furnishings: A number of icons and liturgical items are are still needed:
    • This includes some liturgical feasts, handwritten/painted icons for our iconostas and apse, but Icons of major saints or family patrons are welcome.
    • We could use a few additional vestments for a our priest and altar servers.
    • We are also eventually looking at getting a more permanent altar table.
  • Building and Beautification: There is a number of building projects that need to be completed, please see Mena M about this.  
  • Sewing: We still have a few altar coverings needed, please see Ioana if you would like to assist.
  • Your time: The harvest is many but the labourers are few.   Help us with general administration, help in the liturgy or our ministries.  Please see Father Paul about this.

Supporting Community Meals

If you would like to support a community meal at Noble Joseph House -- please email us with your request and details.

Perhaps you would like to commemorate a significant day or event like a birthday, anniversary, church feast or your Saint’s day?  Another beautiful tradition is making the offering of a meal in memory of a loved one who has passed away.  If so requested, we will acknowledge the support and the dedication at the meal and in our prayers.

Email us with the details of your request or add a note to your donation.
