Help for parishioners and neighbors in hard moments

Restoring the bells in the cathedral towers
The bells above Grand Street need care: inspection, cleaning, and restoration of their mounts and fittings so they can ring soundly for the next generation.
Protective exterior glazing for the stained glass
Clear protective glazing mounted outside the stained glass shields century-old windows from weather, debris, and time, without changing how they look from the street or from a pew.
Repainting an older image with canonical iconography
An older decorative image of the All-Seeing Eye will be repainted in place with canonical iconography, bringing that corner of the cathedral into line with the tradition of the Church.
A garden and play space beside the cathedral
One alley beside the church becomes a green and welcoming space; the other alley becomes a safe and exciting place for parish kids to play.
A permanent foundation for the future of the cathedral
Gifts to the endowment are held permanently, and what they earn supports the cathedral year after year. Gifts of appreciated stock and securities are especially welcome.
Your gift to the general fund sustains the clergy, the building, the music, and the welcome we offer to all who come.
Checks are payable to Saints Peter & Paul Orthodox Cathedral, 109 Grand Street, Jersey City, NJ 07302.
Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.
2 Corinthians 9:7
