Saint Michael the Archangel Orthodox Church in Irvona and Nativity of the Theotokos Orthodox Church in Madera will jointly conduct their Annual Meeting next Sunday, November 23, 2025, following the Divine Liturgy in Irvona. The approved agenda is listed below, and the 2025 Annual Report has been uploaded to the parish website. The report encompasses the Rector’s Report, current account balances for each Church as of October 31, resolutions to be voted on separately by each Church’s members, and the proposed budgets for 2026. Please take this week to review its contents; copies will also be available at the meeting on Sunday.
Resolutions to be considered at the Annual Meeting are included in the attached Annual Report. The deadline for new resolutions has passed, so no additional motions or new business will be considered from the floor.
