| Lay leaders of the community share in the privilege of responsibilities with the Priest to serve the administrative needs of our Parish. Members must be in good standing with the Church for at least one year and are elected for a two-year term. In their capacity as Parish Council members, they also share in the special task of Church management, the planning of future projects of the parish, and bringing into action and cooperation as many members of the parish as possible. |
| Message from the Parish Council President
Christos Anesti!
May you all enjoy this time of the Resurrection and what it
means for all of us.
We all share in the sadness of the passing of Archbishop
Iakovos. It brings to mind a personal memory, if I may share
it with you. In the late 50's when my Dad was president, my
family had the privilege of hosting the Archbishop at our
home for Sunday dinner after liturgy. I was only about 6
years old but can still feel the warmth and gentleness that
radiated from this man. I will cherish this always. As I read
his obituary, I could not help but be in awe of all that he had
done for our religion and for promoting our Greek Orthodox
faith throughout the world. He extended himself to people
everywhere. What an example to set for all of us; to reach
out to each other and to promote our faith and live our lives
accordingly. May his memory and his legacy be eternal.
The Parish Council continues to work hard for the good of
our parish and for all of you. We are in the final stages of
putting a credit card system in place. This will offer one more
option for you to use to make payments for program costs
and stewardship offerings. We will keep you informed.
Our "main event", the Grecian Festival, is moving forward
under the capable direction of Loretta Anastos. She and the
many volunteers are already gearing up for another smashing
success! Don’t miss out on YOUR opportunity to join in the fun
and satisfaction of being part of this event! Let’s make it a
parish project, as always! I especially appeal to our youth.
Now is the time to LEARN from the "pros" who have made
this festival a success year after year. If you don’t start
"shadowing" them now, how will you know to continue these
wonderful traditions in the future? THEY WANT YOUR HELP
AND DESERVE YOUR HELP!
Many of you continue to offer your comments and
suggestions to me. I love the dialogue and encourage you to
continue. Please be assured that each and every thing you say
is important and that your conversations are taken to heart.
Thank you, that’s the only way we continue to do what’s best
for all of us. May God Bless each and every one of you,
Francine Kollias |
