Please take a few minutes now and send a note to info@stvladimiraami.org with a question that you would like Fr. Gregory to address in a future edition of The Path or the Vladcast. Your questions are helpful! When we receive them we don't have to guess at what is important to cover – we KNOW what you want to hear because you yourself are telling us. Thank you for submitting your questions to make our podcasts more focused on our parish family's needs!

Summer is a time when many people go on vacation – and often we are seeking something to read while we are on vacation. Why not help yourself spiritually and pick up a book from the Kiosk or check one out from our parish Library? We have wonderful resources for you – please take advantage of these for your own spiritual growth!

Today the Holy Church commemorates the Martyrs Boris & Gleb. His Beatitude Metropolitan Onuphry has asked all Orthodox believers to entreat the prayers of these great favorites of God for peace in Ukraine. They gave up their lives rather than engage in a fratricidal war and thus are excellent examples for those in political power in our days - that all should strive for peace - even at a high price. Please read the lives of these saints below - and please ask their prayers before the throne of the Lord for peace in Ukraine.

We need participants from St. Vladimir's for the Labor Day Cross Procession – the Walk of Life. Registration is open! Please plan to join us for this really unique opportunity to reach out to those around us and bring our faith to them!

We need volunteers from St. Vladimir's to help with the Labor Day Cross Procession! We need medical staff, folks to help cook the food, folks to drive the chase vehicles, and much more! Please contact Subdeacon Methodius Chwastek to volunteer! See Methodius this Sunday!

We present here a short educational offering for both children and adults. Parents are asked to review the children’s portion with their children. It is very important for us to attend the Divine Services on Sundays and whenever else we are able, but in addition it is our spiritual responsibility to educate ourselves and our families in the faith. It is our hope that this mid-week offering will be an aid in this regard. Please contact Fr. Gregory with questions or suggestions.

For Adults: the explanation of last Sunday's Gospel reading by Blessed Theophylact:
