Update during Covidk-19
During this period when our churches are closed, only Fr. George and 3-4 persons are permitted to assist him. To avoid more exposure, we want to ensure the health and safety of our artos bakers by asking them to take a break and stay home and not bake any artos. We will resume when the CDC and government agencies approve us re-opening our churches. For now, ignore the calendar to the left of this entry.

Every fourth Thursday of November, we celebrate the American tradition of Thanksgiving Day. Beginning on Sunday, November 4th, and thereafter on the first Sunday of every month after the Divine Liturgy, we will schedule “Parish Thanksgiving Sunday”.
My goal is to begin the first Sunday of every month with prayers of thanksgiving. At the same time, I have wanted to re-introduce a beautiful Orthodox practice that has become dormant in our parish. Its potential will increase the involvement of our parishioners and enable them to offer thanksgiving as Orthodox have done for many centuries. Let me explain how! READ MORE -

Parishioners offered thanksgiving and praise to God for the blessings they will enjoy in February - birthdays, Name Days, wedding anniversaries, and Chrismations. We thank them for donating funds to our parish building and operating funds in thanksgiving for God's blessings. We also thank parishioners for donating to Fayette Samaritans for our 2020 Souper Bowl of Caring Hands of Love effort.Thanks also to Faye Georgeo for offering and preparing the five loaves of bread which Fr. George blessed in the Artoklasia Service after the Divine Liturgy. We appreciate Faye and those who assisted her offer our monthly “Lunch and Learn” event before Religious Education classes. Afterwards the Parish Council met for its monthly meeting.

On Thanksgiving Sunday, June 2nd, Tammy & Costas Soulakos offered the Five Loaves for the Artoklasia Service in thanksgiving for the health and welfare of our parish family. They also prepared Kolyva used in the Memorial Service for Costas' parents of blessed memory (Angeliki, 15 years) and Christos (40 Days). We thank them for the Memorial Luncheon they offered in loving memory of Angeliki & Christos. May their memory be eternal. Fr. George blessed a new prayer shawl to be gifted to OCMC.
