Our Youth Ministries Thank You!
St. Spyridon Youth Ministries would like to thank ALL of the volunteers, teen helpers, and participants in our Vacation Church School! The Ark of Salvation VCS was a huge success! Participants learned about the Holy Theotokos through Activities (life-sized Maze, Treasure Hunt), Crafts (journals, Theotokos medallions, golden framed icons), themed Snacks, Songs, Memory Verse, and Lessons! We collected 6 big boxes of pantry items for St. Innocent Orphanage in Rosarito! Thank you all for your prayers, support, and generous donations! We are already looking forward to next summer’s VCS!

Summer Stewardship Reminder
To ALL the faithful stewards of Saint Spyridon parish,
The Stewardship Committee once again takes this opportunity to thank you and to remind you that the operating expenses of our beloved Saint Spyridon parish do not cease throughout the summer months. The same payments and bills have got to be paid throughout the summer as they do throughout the entire year. Because of your generosity and positive response, our 2022 stewardship efforts continue to grow and bear good fruit.
However, for many and varied reasons meeting the parish’s operational expenses throughout the summer months has always been a challenge, but as a community we have been getting better. You can do your part by continuing to fulfill your 2022 pledged stewardship amount throughout the summer months. Therefore, as you made your 2022 stewardship pledge at the beginning of the year, the Stewardship Committee of the parish is encouraging you to continue to fulfill that pledged amount on a weekly and/or monthly basis throughout the summer months. We THANK YOU in advance for your consideration and encourage you all to keep up the good and most honorable work.
Enjoy your summer, be safe and keep praying, making the Divine Liturgy and everything that flows from it a priority in your life.
Sincerely and Respectfully,
John T. Kalas, Stewardship Committee Chair
