Order While Supplies Last...

Proceeds will be used to assist the charities we support locally, regionally,  and nationally.

The Greek Orthodox Ladies Philoptochos Society, the official philanthropic organization of the Greek Orthodox Church in America, was established in November 1931, by the late Ecumenical Patriarch Athenagoras I, who was then serving as Archbishop of North and South America. The members of the National Board of Philoptochos are dedicated church women who offer countless hours to the philanthropic, humanitarian, and Christian mission of the Church. There are 475 Philoptochos chapters in the United States. The structure of the Philoptochos includes the National Board, Metropolitan Boards, and Chapters in every parish of the Archdiocese.

Our St. Christopher parish established its Philoptochos Chapter in 2004, with the help and assitance of Dee Nicolaou and blessings of Metropolitan Alexios. Since its establishment, we have been blessed with our parishioners' support and participation. We contribute to Metropolis, and Archdiocese charity endeavors, as well as various local outreach efforts.

Greetings, Esteemed members of the Philoptochos Board of St. Christopher Hellenic Orthodox Church.
 
I pray you and your families are in good health and fully aware that as a team, we ARE making a huge difference for those who are suffering. We are never as strong as we could be without joining in unity and harmony with our fellow co-workers in our Lord’s Holy Vineyard.
 
However, the work is far from being completed and more help is needed… that is why I am asking you to join us for our Board Meeting tonight.
 
In advance of our meeting, I am offering the following paragraph as my clergy comments for tonight which I kindly ask the Secretary to include in her Minutes:
 
First, I offer deep thanksgiving to each of you for your sacrifices to minister to others. Likewise, I remind us that many other sisters and brothers are helping us at St. Christopher Church and I hope you will call and let them know personally what a difference they are making. We depend on them and love them and while we are limited to seeing each other, we lift them up in our daily prayers and are here for helping if needed. Sisters, I reinforce to you that our local efforts are joined with those from our sister parishes, Metropolises, and Archdiocese. When I consider our parish members’ role in this context, I can’t help but thank God for choosing each of us to assist His children in need and make this world a joyful and healthy place, filled with His love and mercy as we labor in His behalf.

With respect,
+Fr. George Tsahakis
