From Fr. Anthony - Office Hours
The Church's office hours are 9-5 Monday-Friday, and you can stop by to speak with the office staff any time during those hours. If you have a specifically Church-related question, you should speak with Susan Solo, who is in the office Tuesday, Wednesday, & Friday. If you need to meet with me, however, it's best to call first, as I may already be with another appointment, and am frequently called away to other visitations and appointments. If you prefer, I am happy to arrange a time in advance if you prefer. Please note that I am available for hospital visitations, but hospitals no longer give patient information to clergy. Please call me, or have someone in your family call me, so that I can come to visit you.
Church Etiquette
We ask that the doors of the Narthex be closed and no one enters the Church during the following portions of the service:
Epistle, Gospel, Sermon, Great Entrance, Creed, Consecration, and Lord's Prayer.
Please be respectful of the prayer and attention of those who are in the Church as you enter.
When it is time for Holy Communion, please remain in your pews until the young people of the Sunday school have finished receiving Communion. When they are finished, the Parish Council will usher you forward by row.

AHEPA Family Glendi in the Park
Everyone is invited to a Greek Night out this Friday, May 17, from 6:00-11:00 pm. Flyers at the Literature Rack for more info. Cost: Adults $20; Youth 7-12 years: $10; kids free! This event is sponsored by AHEPA Chapter 374 and Daughters of Penelope Chapter 252.
June Picnic/Graduation
Please join us for our graduation and picnic in the Park on Sunday, June 2. We will complete the Liturgy, and the Kneeling Vespers, inside the Church, as normal. Then we will go out to the Park, where a simpler picnic with hamburgers, hot dogs, and some side dishes, will be prepared. We will then hold the graduation exercises in the pavilion while everyone eats and relaxes. Instead of charging for individual meal items, we will simply charge $5 for admission to the Park for the picnic (kids 12 and under eat for free). If you wish to attend the graduation without eating, there will of course be no charge.
Parents of High School and College Graduates
Please submit to the Church office by Tuesday, May 28: 1) name of school, 2) degree received or future plans, and 3) a graduation photo for our display board. Photos will be returned to you. Thank you!
