LONG VALLEY, NJ - The Romanian-American community, together with the Life Giving Fountain Romanian Orthodox Church, are celebrating 1918 unification of the Romanian provinces by building an authentic wooden church in Long Valley. "We know this wooden Church, like those born before us in the homeland, will stand for all time, throughout the centuries, representing a Romanian ethnic symbol of faith here on American soil. You simply will not want to miss a golden opportunity such as this to join us in the building of our Church," officials said on the website. "Whether you ultimately attend regularly, visit occasionally, or create your presence with us in spirit, every giving hand is a bless hand—and we cannot do it without you." The wooden Church is being constructed next to the existing in Long Valley, and the existing building will be converted into a rich in tradition Romanian Cultural Center, hosting a Romanian Library, an Ethnographic Museum and a growing number of community influences, officials said. Additional planning includes social engagements such as Literature Enlightenment, Musical Moments, Film and Review, Educational Platforms and Religion Rapture.
