Miodrag Djordjevic

Miodrag Djordjevic, age 78 of Portage, passed away peacefully with his family by his side on Thursday, March 25. 2021. He was a lifelong member of St Sava Serbian Orthodox Church, and a long time member of it’s Historical Society.  He was an engineer by profession, a historian by passion and visionary by nature.

He was retired from Hefter Industries after many years of service. There was little that Mike couldn’t figure out how to fix or build. He enjoyed helping the Historical Society at St Sava, tinkering around the house and spending time with friends and family. He was always willing to lend a helping hand, including taking his grandchildren to their various activities where he could often be seen with a cooler of snacks waiting on the sidelines.

He was known as Visko, Tata, Deda, Prijatelj (Friend). His wisdom, strength and sage advice will be sorely missed. May his memory be eternal. Mir Boziji.

Miodrag is preceded in death by his parents Predrag and Ljubica Djordjevic, and his beloved son Viseslav.

He is survived by his loving wife Gordana Djordjevic, cherished daughter Ljubica (Dragutin) Popovich,  precious grandchildren, Savka, Mila and Mihailo Popovich; brother Slobodan Djordjevic, many other Kumovi, relatives and friends.

Funeral Services will take place Monday, March 29, 2021 at 10:00 a.m. St Sava Serbian Orthodox Church, 9191 Mississippi St, Merrillville with V Rev Marko Matic officiating. Visitation will be at church at 9:00 a.m. at the church until the time of service. Interment Graceland Cemetery.

Updating your contact information can save the church thousands of dollars

By | General Information/News | No Comments

CLICK HERE TO UPDATE YOUR CONTACT INFORMATION

For our members and parishioners on our monthly paper newsletter mailing list, did you know on average it costs around $3 in materials alone each month, every time you receive the newsletter in the U.S. Mail?

The paper, the printing on the paper, the mailing labels, staples, little sticker tabs to keep the pages together, the postage. We haven’t even calculated in the labor to put it all together in that cost.

You can make a BIG difference saving the church thousands of dollars each year and choose to receive that same monthly newsletter in digital format sent directly to your e-mail address.

All you have to do is visit www.saintsava.net/update and update your contact information that includes a question about how you would like to receive the newsletter – in digital or print format. You’ll even be able to add contact information for everyone in your household so everyone will get their own digital copy of the newsletter.

We’ll ask you some simple questions about your contact information including your e-mail address, home phone, and mobile phone numbers. We also ask for an update on your mailing address because there are still some times when we’ll need to send you something and we want to make sure we’re up-to-date.

You may still choose to receive the monthly newsletter in paper format as you update your contact information. We just know there are many people who may prefer the digital copy and choosing the digital copy saves the church thousands of dollars annually.

The Executive Board is making better communication a priority this year and with your help updating contact information, we’ll build a stronger community together.
