Commemorated on June 27<br />
Saint Sampson the Hospitable was the son of rich and illustrious Roman parents. In his youth he received<br />
an excellent education, he studied the medical arts, and doctored the sick without charge. After<br />
the death of his parents <strong>St</strong> Sampson generously distributed alms and set his slaves free, preparing himself<br />
to go into the wilderness.<br />
With this intent in mind he soon journeyed from Rome to the East. But the Lord directed him onto a different<br />
path, that of service to neighbor, and so <strong>St</strong> Sampson came to Constantinople. Settling into a<br />
small house, the saint began to take in homeless wanderers, the poor and the sick, and he attended to<br />
them. The Lord blessed the efforts of <strong>St</strong> Sampson and endowed him with the power of wonderworking.<br />
He healed the sick not only through being a skilled physician, but also as a bearer of the grace of God.<br />
News of <strong>St</strong> Sampson spread abroad. The patriarch heard of his great virtue and ordained him to the holy<br />
priesthood.<br />
It was revealed to the grievously ill Emperor Justinian (527-565), that he could receive healing only<br />
through <strong>St</strong> Sampson. In praying, the saint put his hand on the afflicted area, and Justinian was healed.<br />
In gratitude the emperor wanted to reward his healer with silver and gold, but the saint refused and instead<br />
asked Justinian to build a home for the poor and the sick. The emperor readily fulfilled his request.<br />
<strong>St</strong> Sampson devoted the rest of his life to serving his neighbor. He survived into old age and after a short<br />
illness he departed peacefully to the Lord. The saint was buried at the church of the holy Martyr Mocius,<br />
and many healings were effected at his grave. His hospice remained open, and the saint did not cease<br />
to care for the suffering. He appeared twice to a negligent worker of the hospice and upbraided him for<br />
his laziness. At the request of an admirer of <strong>St</strong> Sampson the hospice was transformed into a church,<br />
and beside it a new edifice was built for the homeless. During the time of a powerful fire at Constantinople<br />
the flames did not touch the hospice of <strong>St</strong> Sampson. Through his intercession a heavy rain<br />
quenched the fire.<br />

ROSE WINDOW PROJECT<br />
There is a need to repair and repaint the exterior surfaces of the three large rose windows<br />
on the church. These windows were last painted during the renovation eight years ago.<br />
It is time to do some routine maintenance. You may have noticed water beginning to seep<br />
onto the interior walls.<br />
Due to the size and unique nature of these beautiful windows, an outside repair company<br />
has been asked to perform these repairs This repair project is budgeted at $10,000. To<br />
date we have collected $5,935.00. Since we are unable to fund this large expense from<br />
our usual collections, you are being asked to consider supplementing your normal<br />
contributions with donation earmarked for the Rose Window Repair Project.<br />
The repairs will begin as soon as sufficient funds are received in order to minimize the<br />
progress of the water damage.<br />
The AMBO will regularly show the progress of the fund raising.<br />
