A Blessed Christmas and a Prosperous New Year
Father Sotirios, the President and the members of the Parish and Community Executive Committee, Ladies' Auxiliary Committee and Youth Fellowship, pray that "Christ our true God who was born in a cave and lay in a manger" may grant to us health of body and soul, and bestow upon us all blessings, spiritual and material.
Dance in Aid of Church rendering
On Saturday the 6th June 2009, our Parish and Community hosted a "Dance in aid of Church Rendering". The dance raised the amount of $14,000. We would like to thank all those who attended and supported the function. We especially would like to thank the people who organised and funded the dance and would like to remain anonymous. Thank-you!
Sanctify those who love the beauty of your house …
With much pleasure we take this opportunity to inform you that we have taken on the great task of rendering the interior of our Church.
We, therefore, issue a warm-hearted appeal to all, that you may assist us — if possible — by making a contribution, as
you have done in the past — and continue to do so — in order that we may be able to see this task completed.
We pray that God may continue to bestow His blessings upon you and your family, through the intercessions of the Holy and Glorious
Saint Paraskevi.
If you are interested in making a donation please contact Father Sotirios.
Scripture in our local Public Schools

our children learn about their faith.
