Why we are building
By God's grace, we have outgrown our walls.
Our parish has outgrown its home in Georgetown, and we are now building a new church in Hutto, Texas: a lasting home for Orthodox worship for generations to come.
The faithful will cross its courtyard on the way into every Liturgy, every baptism, every wedding and every funeral. We want that ground to carry the names of the people who built it, and of the people we still pray for.
A brick is a gift toward the building and a place in it. Engrave your family's name, honor someone you love, or remember someone who has reposed in the Lord.

The courtyard
Thirty feet square. 3,874 bricks. Each with room for a name.
There are 3,698 standard bricks and only 176 large ones in the whole courtyard.
When the courtyard is laid, the names go with it: families who have prayed here, children baptized here, and the departed we remember at every memorial. Once a space is given, it is given for good.

Questions
Before you order
What can I engrave?

Can I change my inscription after I order?
No. Every brick is engraved exactly as it was submitted and changes can't be made afterward. Check the spelling of every name and date before you submit.
Can I order more than one brick?
Yes. Each order is for one brick, so submit your first, then come back to this page and design the next.
