Χριστὸς ἀνέστη! As I write this, we are at 1,793 signatures. That's more than 1 signature EVERY MINUTE since we opened the petition!! THANK YOU for this outpouring of support! The signatures and comments will be of great help during the initial discussions of the zoning proposal with the Pinal County Planning and Zoning Commission next week. I've posted a list of links and information on the Facebook page (see below). For those of you without a Facebook account, I am trying to find another way to share information, since we don't have a website, and this is all happening very quickly. Also, you may be interested to know this petition is finding its way into the international Orthodox Christian press -- for example, see this article on the popular Russian Orthodox site PRAVOSLAVIE -- http://www.pravoslavie.ru/english/93666.htm If you live nearby the Monastery and are able to deliver a phyical, paper petition with handwritten signatures to the Bookstore by Sunday or Monday, please download this PDF and circulate among your friends, relatives, and parishioners! Remember, this needs to be turned over to the Bookstore no later than Monday May 30th! (and preferably Sunday before Vespers). Here is a link to the downloadable PDF: https://www.dropbox.com/s/5wb7389gt16pv6m/Petition%20-%20Non-Residents.pdf?dl=0 Please continue to share the petition with your families and friends! And please keep the Monastery in your prayers!
