Bible study will begin mid-November, right around Christmas fast.  More details and information to follow in future bulletins.

One of the most important things we can do for our children is ensure that they learn about our Orthodox faith.  Religious education should be an important part of their lives.  Classes for the 2022-2023 Sunday School have begun and are available for students from pre-K (age 4) to 12th grade.  Also, if anyone is interested in becoming a Sunday School teacher, please contact Fr. George.

Your choir is currently looking for an accompanist to play the organ with us.  We are a friendly group, and would love to welcome a new member to our choir.  The position is a paid church position, and would require attendance on most Sundays and a couple of evenings per month for practice.  We can be flexible around scheduling issues.  You do not have to speak or read Greek, only music.  Organ training is not necessary.  It is a wonderful way to learn more about the liturgy and the hymns being sung.  If you are interested, or know of someone who is, please contact Kim Lianos at 313.850.6246 or kim.lianos04@gmail.com.

Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church in partnership with the Ohio History Connection, a nonprofit statewide history organization advancing Ohio’s history and stories, held a dedication ceremony for a Historical Marker on Saturday, September 17 at 12 p.m. at the site of the former Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church built in 1917, located at 1749 10th Street N.E., Canton, OH 44709. The Historical Marker recognized the property as a landmark that served as the religious, social, and cultural center for the Greek Christian refugees of Asia Minor who migrated to Canton, Ohio in the early 1900s.

Statement of Archbishop Elpidophoros of America on Hurricane Ian

With hurricane season upon the Southern United States, I prayerfully ask that we turn our attention and prayers to the state of Florida, recently fallen under a State of Emergency due to the oncoming Hurricane Ian. Specifically, I offer my prayers and blessing to those Metropolis communities which are in the storms current path, including the Tampa Bay area and Naples.

International Orthodox Christian Charities (IOCC) announced today that with support from the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America, IOCC will provide immediate assistance to people in Ukraine displaced by the conflict and receiving aid through six dioceses of the Orthodox Church of Ukraine.

There was no need to travel all the way to the Aegean this past weekend to experience Greek hospitality, culture, and food. Locals only had to attend the annual Greek Festival, hosted since 1973 by the Greek Orthodox Holy Trinity Church in New Rochelle. Participants had many diverse activities to choose from.

This month of September is replete with commemorations that define us as a People, even as they are hard to bear because of the loss and devastation. We just passed the twenty-first memorial of September Eleventh, and we are now upon the one hundredth anniversary of the Asia Minor Holocaust that cost so many lives and changed the face of the Greeks across the Hellespont in Pontos and the coasts of Asia Minor.

I know that I speak for everyone in this room, when I say that we are all so very pleased to have this opportunity to share the afternoon with you, especially in the very busy days of the United Nations General Assembly.

Today, this auspicious and joy-filled day, I have the privilege to represent our Spiritual Father, His All-Holiness Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew – in whose sacred presence we were graced these last days, for the purpose of receiving an extraordinary example of Christian love and responsibility. For today, the Holy Book of the Gospels, the manuscript once known as Kosinitza Manuscript 220, is being returned to its Monastic Home and Sanctuary.

Anytime that I find myself in the company of the Order of Saint Andrew, our much beloved and deeply cherished body of Archons of the Ecumenical Patriarchate here in America, I feel tremendous pride and great happiness. As you know, the Archons are a special group of people in the life of the Church. By their very offikia, they take upon themselves duties and responsibilities to the Mother Church of Constantinople that are essential for Her health and prosperity.
