If you would like to be part of this GFF subcommittee to brainstorm and put together a plan of action please contact John Housianitis at 617 9226490 or at jchdagreek@aol.com. Thank you
Stewardship thank you note We would like to thank all of our faithful stewards who in these difficult conditions have upgraded significantly their contributions, leading to very significant progress over last year figures. See stewardship comparison attached as insert. By the same token, do not hesitate to reach out to us if you are in need of transitional help. You can be assured the we will handle any requests with utmost confidentiality.
Lagadinos fund in an amazing gesture of solidarity and care, John and Effie Lagadinos have donated $5,000 to our community, one of many gifts that they have made to parishes all around the Metropolis! We are therefore establishing the Lagadinos fund for matching donations for those who can afford to do so in these times of need. There are already pledges from our parishioners and we hope that you will consider to add your contribution. You can send a check to Annunciation GOC with memo Lagadinos fund, or you can click on the "Donate" button on our website and select the Lagadinos gift.
