WISH LIST 

Below is our church's "wish list", which includes items that we either need now, need to replace or will need in the future.  If you would like to contribute toward one or more of these items, please contact Fr James first at stjamesbeaufort@gmail.com.

Remember that our goal is to offer our BEST to God in all things: our lives, our prayers, our actions, our thoughts, our work and (in this case) those things that we desire to offer to the Church in addition to what we are already giving as a sacrificial offering of our time, talent and treasure. 

PLEASE BEAR IN MIND that giving towards these items is not a replacement for one's "tithe".  This is something that goes over and above what one is already giving to God toward the ongoing work of the Church .  If you have any questions or concerns about issues related toward "proportional giving" as a sacramental offering to God, please speak with Fr James.

 

  • NEW CHURCH BUILDING (Estimated $2 Million)

    • Having relocated to our new location off of Ribaut Road, we are actively in the process of raising money for our future church building at this new location.

    • SEE THE GIVING PAGE FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT HOW TO GIVE TOWARD THIS PROJECT

Proposed design, created by Andrew Gould

ARCHITECTURAL ITEMS for the Future Church Building:

  • Choros and Chandeliers: The central Choros is a staggeringly beautiful circular structure, giving light to the center of the temple. The matching chandeliers add additional light to the transepts and the colonnades: This CHOROS (we will need only one, $15-20,000) and these CHANDELIERS (we will need four to six of them, $1000 each)

  • Icon Frescos: Once it is built, the interior of our new temple will be adorned with large wall and ceiling frescos; icons of the life of Christ and Biblical stories and characters. This long-term program will be created in stages, over time, with different areas inside of the church adorned to feature these scenes ($25,000 for each program)

  • Memorial Service (Panikhida) Table: $800 (here)
