"Every man has a guardian angel at conception. When a man gets baptized, he gets a second guardian angel which accompanies the man for the rest of his life. And these two angels meet the man's soul when it leaves the body. A lot of people who have returned from the other world witnessed that they've been met by the angels. Each man whether baptized or not can pray to God and an angel is the one who delivers the prayer to God. Many people feel the care of God even those outside the church. They say "God guides me and I just feel it." The guardian angel brings this feeling. - Archpriest Dmitry Smirnov
St. Mary the Protectress Syriac Orthodox Community is located in Plymouth, Indiana. We are a monastic community and intentional Orthodox Christian community. We believe that you can pray to end hunger, but it is not a true prayer unless you also feed those who are hungry. We seek to live the example of Christ and serve all our neighbors. We are a multi-cultural and multi-ethnic worshiping community. Services are in English.
