Prayers for:
This is our newest endeavor for those whom you wish to have prayer's go up to Our Lord, Our God for help in their overcoming much that we face in this transitory life.
If the one for whom you wish we pray for is not Orthodox Catholic, we will, with all our heart, pray for their conversion so that they will have a fervent desire for spiritual enlightenment and understanding which might lead them further into that which causes all of us to truly struggle out of pain of heart for the faith once delivered for all from the times of the Holy Prophets, Apostles and Patristic Fathers.
The most important prayers that could ever be offered for someone are those that have to do with their failing understanding and dedication in the faith so that when their time comes to repose from this life, they may hopefully enter the new life with Christ.
Here's a few areas for which prayers are offered:
Health: is one of the major requests that prayers be offered up for someone.
Difficult situations and circumstances: is another area for which prayers are often asked. Be sure when asking prayers for these particular problems, that the individual for which the prayers are offered, have not run out of means and ways to resolve the problem. God does not allow for anything to happen to those who are true strugglers out of pain of heart for that which Jesus delivered unto the Holy Apostles and our unworthy selves, but what He leaves open a 'window' whereby the issue will be resolved. Yet, He does not leave us empty or without the means to obtain a resolution.
Send us an e-mail (Click on the e-mail icon) and provide us with the name of the individual, the intention for which you desire our prayers for that person, their city and state; your own name and contact information is also expected:
Should you have any questions, please feel free to telephone me, Bishop +Matthias, at (505) 544-8279, our Church International Headquarters operated for the Holy Synod by the Thaddean Fathers.
Please remember the following in your individual prayers:
+ Please remember me (+Joseph Thaddeus) and all those who are true strugglers in your prayers.
+ Please pray for the peace of the world.
"Casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you." 1 Peter 5:7

In Memorium for a faithful:
June 17, 2005
I would like to put in a memorial prayer request in memory of my mother, Raisa Schon-Hadarin Ziolkowski.
My mother, Raisa Schon was born in Siberia on May 31, 1926. Her parents were the late Johann Schon and Olympiada Parasenko.
She moved to Korsun, Kievskaya Oblast as a small child and there, my Uncle Paul, her youngest brother was born on November 18, 1927.
My mom, her mom and brother were in Germany in World War 2 when they were living in a labor camp. There, around 1944-45(not sure, though)my grandmother Olympiada--or Olga as she liked being called--married Michael Hadarin.
Mom moved to the States in 1951 and her parents came later. My Uncle Paul remained in Germany.
She met my father, a Polish immigrant and Roman Catholic, Stanislaw Ziolkowski and they married on August 1, 1959 at St, Vladimir's Ukrainian Orthodox Cathedral in Chicago, Illinois.
My brother Alex was born on September 26, 1960, I(Lidia Irene)was born March 15, 1963 and my younger brother, Victor was born May 6, 1966.
Me and my brothers were all baptized and brought up Orthodox. Dad was the only one who retained his Roman Catholicism.
We celebrated Christmas and Easter twice--that was the whole nice thing about the holidays.
Mom got ill right after my dad passed away(he died May 5, 1991)and she lived at various nursing homes.
Mom died of congestive heart failure on March 1, 1998 at Bayside Care Center in Bayside, Wisconsin(10 miles out of Milwaukee).
Please keep her in you memorium prayers and please light a candle for her on March 1st.
It will be 7 years since her passing and I miss her so. And, my son Ian has fond memories of his beloved "Babucia"--he was only 10 years old when she passed away and he was her delight! Ian is now 17.
Thanks anyway and may the Lord be with all of you!
