On Sunday 21 September 2014, the Great Feast of the Nativity of the Mother of God, the parish rector baptised Maria Malysheva, the four year-old daughter of Alexey Malyshev and Natalia Petrenko and a younger sister to Ksenia.  Maria’s patron saint is Saint Mary Magdalene, Equal-to-the-Apostles.  Her sponsors at baptism were Natalia Petrova and Andrii Vyaznikov.  We offer warm congratulations to Alexey, Natalia, Natalia and Andrii, and pray that God will grant His newly-baptised handmaiden Maria many years!
