Christ is in our midst.

This summer has been filled with blessings and hope. Courageously we have all persevered within the effort to recover from a year of crisis.  With Christ like gratitude, I communicate that Project Mexico & the St. Innocent Orphanage has survived and is planning for great things.  As a humble servant, I address all of you as the newly appointed Executive Director.  After four years of dedicated service, Fr. Demetrios Andrews has moved on to pursue other callings. We wish him well as he continues to serve the Lord.

In June the Board of Directors approached me to consider leading Project Mexico in this new position.  After prayerful consideration and consultation with my dear wife, Presbytera Merilynn, I, wholeheartedly, decided to embrace this opportunity and challenge.

Most of you know that I have served in the capacity of priest for the orphanage for the last nine years. Further, I have played a vital role in Project Mexico’s homebuilding efforts. I deeply support both of these vital ministries.

I want to express to you my excitement in assuming the role of Executive Director. I will bring to this position passion, deep love and hard work. Be assured that this position has been placed in the hands of someone who deeply understands and intimately knows what is entailed in these ministries. I am eager to serve the Lord in this new capacity.

In closing, I, humbly, trust and ask for your continued support. This great ministry of the Church flourishes when Christ works through all of you. 

In the loving service of the less fortunate,

Father Nicholas Andruchow

Executive Director

Project Mexico and St Innocent Service Works
