Toma Cozma Church in Iaşi, important historical monument built in 1807, on the west side of „Muntenimii” hill (later „Păcurarilor slams”) by the ban Toma Cozma and his wife Ecaterina, it has two patrons: „Saint Apostle Toma” (The main patron – celebrated on the Sunday of Toma) and „Saint Martyr Ecaterina” (The second patron – November, 25th), corresponding to the names of the two main founders of the holy dwelling. To these two founders another benefactor joined, namely Maria Apostol Anastasiu Ketreanca, the widow of a Greek descending from a monks’ family, Apostle Anastasiu, as it results from the inscription on the western wall of the church.
Projects and programs
Currently Toma Cozma parish supports a wide range of spiritual and cultural-philanthropic activities constantly rendered in the Sunday Magazine, “the Faith and the Deed”, whose young editorial staff succeeds in offering a continuous ranging of its content by engaging as many enthusiastic young people in our parish as possible. With this purpose our publication is open to new collaborations and innovative proposals.
The special involvement of the members in the Parish choir consisting in professional artists from “Gavriil Muzicescu” Choir within Moldova Philharmonics in Iasi and from the Romanian National Opera Choir Iasi – always offers us the joy of a beautiful mass. We also have the privilege of a lucrative administrative collaboration within the Parish Council and the satisfaction of having had the ability to help our fellow men by accomplishing many social-philanthropic activities, by means of the involvement of the Parish Committee as well as of several friends in the country and abroad.
We also benefit from the enthusiasm of the young people in the parish in the organization of many cultural activities and the active involvement in the future projects that we intend to carry out.
