Due principally to the continuing war in Ukraine, the Ann Arbor Russian Festival Committee has decided to forego our 2022 festival. This difficult decision came after much discussion, thought, prayer, and a vote of the committee. We fully understand that some people will applaud our decision, while others will be disappointed and perhaps even feel defeated. The Church does not have a "side" in the war, but rather, prays continually for peace. With hostilities ongoing we simply felt it was not appropriate to hold the Russian Festival this year. We have set the 2023 Russian Festival for September 16-17, 2023 and we hope you will mark those dates on your calendar now and join us then! Please watch for more information about St. Vladimir’s activities that you and your family can participate in this fall: a Bake Sale & Concert + The Walk of Life Cross Procession + MORE!
