Coming Events

23rd Annual Golf Outing

This year’s Golf Outing will take place at the Odyssey Country Club in Tinley Park on August 18th, 2020. All measures will be taken to provide a safe and comfortable experience for all our golfers. Thanks to your support over the years and the work of our dedicated volunteers and generous donors, this annual event is becoming increasingly successful as a fellowship and fundraising opportunity for our parish family. All the proceeds from our Saint Spyridon Golf Outing benefit the Building Fund. We hope and pray that through your support of our 23rd Annual Golf Outing, we will continue to beautify our parish home and make it safe and welcoming for generations to come.

Stewardship Forms 2020

Stewardship 2020 With the Covid-19 pandemic impacting everyday life, we thank you for your unwavering support and wish you and your loved ones continued health and joy in our Lord. During this difficult period, your prayers and kind generosity have helped our beloved parish continue its ministry to those in need and to face the various challenges as best we can. Slowly our worship life has resumed while ensuring the safety of the attendees and all our parish members. Given the situation, we are not able to host any social events this summer, including our parish festival which serves as an important event in our community life and a vital fundraiser that supports our parish operations. This reality makes our stewardship support all the more important to the well-being of our parish community. If we can all give our fair share as stewards of our church, while also inviting new stewards to join our parish family, we can hope to achieve our goal where at least half of our parish support comes from stewardship. We wish to thank the 250 Stewards who have committed their stewardship for 2020. Stewardship contributions can be made online at our website: www.Saint-Spyridon.org through Tith.ly or PayPal. You can also send in your stewardship by mail or by stopping by the church during office hours.

Orthodox Food Store

Dear Faithful of Saint Spyridon, We hope everyone has been healthy and safe in these times of crisis. The Orthodox Christian community has started a new initiative with the guidance of our spiritual leader, his Eminence Metropolitan Nathanael. It is a food relief program in which all twenty-six Chicagoland Greek Orthodox Churches are participating. The program calls for donors to make different "kits" to assist those less fortunate. There are three different kinds of kits: 1. COVID kit (one-gallon Ziploc bags, face masks, latex or plastic gloves, small hand sanitizer, antibacterial bars of soap, Band-Aids, small bottles of hand moisturizer) 2. CARE kit (bottles of water, snack/granola bars, small packs of crackers-sealed, small deodorant, small bars of antibacterial soap, small bottles of shampoo, small tubes of toothpaste, sealed toothbrushes, one-gallon Ziploc bags) 3. DINNER Kit (cans of corn, cans of green beans, pasta – 1- or 2-pounds bags or boxes, jars of pasta sauce, jars of jelly/jam, bags of uncooked rice, cans of beans, boxes of graham crackers) These kits are to be pre-packaged at home with all the necessary materials included. The items for the COVID and Care kits are to be packaged in one large Zip-Lock bag and the Dinner Kit should be put in a large paper bag (ex. Trader Joe's bag). The specific items for each kit are laid out in the image below. You may drop-off kits on Thursdays from 3 PM to 5 PM. Large plastic bins will be placed outside the front doors near the office for kits to be deposited. Our first drop off day will be on Tuesday, June 23rd. For any questions, or if you wish to drop off a kit sometime other than the designated time, please contact the office at (708)-385-2311. Thank you for supporting the Orthodox Store Mini stry.
