Dear Brothers and Sisters:   

 
We at St. Michael the Archangel Russian Orthodox Church wish you a Blessed New Year of 2026!
  
Here is a link to a wonderful and robust photo album from our New Year Ball (Novogodny Ball) that was held at our Church on January 16 in conjunction with  Our Lady Joy of All Sorrows Russian Orthodox Church of Philadelphia.   We thank Fr. Valeriy and Matushka Elena of Our Lady  for all of their work and donations to make the Ball a success, as well as their parishioners Maxim (pianist) and Ivan (DJ) for their creative musical stylings!    Photos are courtesy of Ms. Olga Podgorskaya of Our Lady, fine arts photographer.  We thank Olga for all these professionally done and beautiful  remembrances of the event. 
 
Also here's a link to a video of the Ball professionally as well  provided by our own St. Michael videographer in chief Anastasia Olololyeva. Thank you Anastasia not just for your movie making skills but also for all of your work along with our own Geneieve Veres in planning and carrying out our first ever Ball. 
 
And thanks to all who attended and donated to our event. 
 
In Christ, Matushka Anna and  Fr. Gregory
