St. Christopher parishioners gathered late afternoon on Saturday, January 7th to join Fr. George as he blessed our church property and building efforts for the coming year. Afterwards we drove just five minutes away to All Saints Anglican Church where our parish family gathered for dinner, children's activities, and a spirited and fun auction that netted over $11,000 for Philoptochos' charity, St. Basil's Academy, which celebrates its 100th anniversary this year. Thanks to all who assisted with planning, set-up, and dinner. We appreciate those who brought food and drinks, those who made the delicious Vasilopitas that were auctioned, those who purchased them, and those who cleaned up. We welcomed friends of our parishioners and thank them for sharing the wonderful New Year tradition with their friends and neighbors. On Sunday, we will share with those unable to join us tonight portions of the Community Vasilopita that Presbytera Marinda made. Also, some of those present will surprise parishioners with breads they purchased to share. What a special community we are part of... even when we can't be present, those who could are praying and seeking to assist our brethren who were absent. May God bless us in 2023 and always.
