LET’S NOT KEEP PHILOPTOCHOS A SECRET!
Here is the WHY. WHERE. and HOW…. because of YOUR membership pledge of support it allows our St. Luke Chapter to keep current the Boston Metropolis Philoptochos Contributions.
March 2021- Philoxenia House
We want to share great news about The Philoxenia House. Under the guidance of His Eminence Metropolitan Methodios, renovations took place during the months of January and February 2021. Major improvements consisted of new electrical work, painting, updated personal bathrooms and the purchase of new blinds throughout the house. The kitchen has a newly installed sink, faucet, and hood vent. All eleven bedrooms have received new linens, towels, and decor pieces.
As of January 2021, The Metropolis of Boston Philoptochos Board voted unanimously to sponsor the kitchen and the living room at The Philoxenia House. The Philoptochos recently purchased new window treatments, lamps, pots and pans, a coffee maker, and toaster along with other useful kitchen items.
The first Philoxenia guests of 2021 arrived on Monday, March 2. The Philoxenia House embraces people from Greece, Cyprus, South Africa, Germany, Brazil, Egypt, Russia, Bulgaria, and Romania faithfully throughout the world and America seeking medical care in Boston. The Metropolis of Boston Philoptochos is humbled to support such a wonderful ministry!
