Paraskeve the Righteous Martyr of Rome

Saint Paraskeve, who was from a certain village near Rome, was born to pious parents, Agatho and Politia. Since she was born on a Friday (in Greek, Paraskeve), she was given this name, which means "preparation" or "preparedness" (compare Matt. 27:62, Mark 15:42, Luke 23:54, and John 19:31, where 'Friday' is called "the day of the preparation"). From childhood she was instructed in the sacred letters and devoted herself to the study of the divine Scriptures, while leading a monastic life and guiding many to the Faith of Christ. During the reign of the Emperor Antoninus Pius, she was apprehended because she was a Christian and was urged to worship the idols, but she answered with the words of Jeremias: "Let the gods that have not made heaven and the earth perish from off the earth" (Jer. 10:11). Because of this she endured exceedingly painful torments, and was beheaded in the year 140. The faithful pray to her for the healing of eye ailments.

BACKPACK DRIVE - Summer may be on its way but it is the perfect time to help with the Philoptochos Back Pack Project. Last year with your help we were able to donate 116 filled back packs to Long Beach children. Our request for donations has been sent in the mail and you should be receiving it soon. Due to COVID-19 and to ensure the safety of the children, this year we will only be requesting monetary donations towards backpacks and supplies. A $35 donation will help fill a backpack. Checks can be sent to Assumption Philoptochos, 5761 E Colorado Street, Long Beach, CA 90814 or via Venmo @Philoptochos-LongBeach.

 

BAKE SALE - We have sold out the baklava and spanakopites. We only have a few trays of Tiropites left.  Call Lia Kakaris at 562-773-1778 before they go. We don't know when we will be able to bake again. 

A “Big Thank you” from our heart to all of you that supported Philoptochos at this difficult time. We appreciate you very much.
