PASCHA 2025 — Thank You from St. Barnabas Orthodox Orphanage and School

Christ is Risen! Truly He is Risen!

Dear brethren,

This Pascha, your kindness and generosity made it possible for us to celebrate the Feast of Feasts in a truly memorable way here at St. Barnabas Orthodox Orphanage and School, South Kinangop.

Thanks to your support, we were able to hold the full Divine Services of Pascha right at the orphanage and school grounds. The children, staff, and the entire local community gathered together in prayer and joyful celebration. It was a true witness to the light of Christ shining even in the most remote and challenging places.

After the liturgical celebration, we shared a warm Paschal meal with all the children under our care—many of whom experienced such a festive feast for the very first time. The joy and gratitude on their faces were beyond words.

But your love reached even further.

With your help, we distributed over 300 food and care packages to families from our surrounding community—especially to those who, despite facing their own hardships, have opened their homes and hearts to foster our orphans. Their sacrifice and love mirror the Gospel itself, and your generosity honored and uplifted them during this holy season.

We welcome you to experience this celebration through our video highlights and photo gallery:
