Our final moving days are approaching. We have 25 boxes of old Russian language (some Ukrainian) periodicals, and books still in our building. Some staff at the local ROCOR cathedral were very interested but they haven’t managed to get over to look at them during Great Lent. Some folks from another ROCOR parish and the priest at an OCA have happily taken some.

We will need to put whatever is left in the recycle soon.

If you know anyone in the San Francisco area who might be interested in some pre-Soviet and Soviet era materials, Catholic, and Moscow Patriarchate, Paris, etc. have them contact me or call the parish. 415-752-2052 We would love to have these go to someone who would want them but our efforts to make that happen are not proving very successful.

(Stanford University and the Patriarchal Church in SF did go through our library years ago and took the most valuable, to them, things at that time. These periodicals etc were stashed in a closet and I don’t think anyone had looked at them for decades before we unearthed them about 6 weeks ago.)

Great! We have DL this Sat. at 10AM with a work day following lunch, until 5PM. Come by. And of course we’ll be there for DL at 10 AM Palm Sunday and Agape afterwards, there until about 2PM.

The Russian Museum, and Russian Library from the Russian Center came and sorted through all of it today. They took about 3/4. The rest they said is either Ukrainian or duplicates of Russian stuff they have.

Can you check with your priest and see if he wants to come look? It’s likely heading for recycle after our Pascha. I’m pulling some things I think maybe Fr Stephan’s Ukrainan daughter-in-law might find interesting. But it’s just guesses on my part since I don’t read the language.

I think your parish is on the new calendar. If so, Christ is Risen! S’pradznikom! (Maybe see you at the OCF Bright Week party on the 17th.)
