St. Anthony Hours of Prayer - A windows utility that runs in the system tray and at the canonical hours, bells will sound and a Psalm relevant to that hour will be displayed.
Let Us Sing of John, the Hierarch of Christ - Holy Trinity Monastery and Seminary Choir has issued a CD of music in honor of St John (Maximovich, +1966) of Shanghai and San Francisco during the tenth anniversary of the saint's glorification.
Saint John the Wonderworker Parish is the first church in the world named
after Saint John (Maximovitch) of Shanghai and San Francisco. The
Church was formed and named in 1991, at the time called Blessed John
the Wonderworker as St. John was not yet canonized. When St. John was
canonized in 1994, the name was changed to St. John the Wonderworker.
The parish is located in Atlanta, Georgia and joined the OCA as part of
the Diocese of the South under Archbishop Dmitri of Dallas in September
of 2000.
Over the years the parish has been able to gather several items that this
beloved saint wore, including a thigh shield and two of his robes.
More recently the Church was given a bone relic from his foot, the only
part of his body that was not found to be incorrupt.
On this website you can find a great deal about the life of St. John by
clicking on one of the navigational buttons to the left under "The Life
of St. John". We also have a collection of testimonies to the ongoing
miraculous intercessions of our beloved Saint. Please feel free to
browse and learn of this great saint of our own century. We also have a
brand new special gift of a computer program written by one of our members
called the Menologion (3.0) which includes
a daily icon of the saint of the day with his or her troparion and kontakion
and his or her life, and also the daily Bible reading. This program is
written because of St. John's love of the Saints and because of his desire
that all Christians should pray daily and often.
