REALM & iPhone scrolling issue
Some have noticed an issue with scrolling on iPhones when using REALM's Connect app. I'm happy to let you know that we received a message from REALM that this issue has been fixed.
Please feel free to let me (Nikki at the church office) know if you are still having the issue.
New Phone System & New Welcome Message
We have upgraded our telephone system!
When calling our church, you FIRST hear a welcome message and have a choice to speak directly with Fr. Panteleimon by pressing "1" or, if you would like to reach the church office, you can press "2".
For the foreseable future, please press 2 since Fr. Pantleleimon's office is out of commission due to the recent lower level flooding.

Camper Spots Available for IV 2023!!
Dear IV Alumni & Friends,
Spots still remain in Session One and Session Two this summer! As you know, Ionian Village provides campers and staff with a life-transforming summer experience by bringing them closer to our Orthodox faith and exploring our rich Hellenic culture and history. Since 1970, more than 18,000 teens and young adults have experienced the miracle of this program over 50 years. This summer, we hope to give as many campers as possible the chance to join this distinguished group. We are asking for your help to spread the word and fill the camp!
Both sessions are open to campers who are currently in 9th grade through those who will complete the 12th grade in the spring of 2023. For more information, and to register, visit www.ionianvillage.org. To inquire about scholarships, please contact our office at ionianvillage@goarch.org or 212-570-3536.
In Christ,
Marina Floratos
Director, Ionian Village
