We're very excited to announce that our parish has approved plans to proceed with the Accessibility Project. This project intends to provide handicapped accessibility to the Church and its facilities. A ramp will provide street-level access to the Church, and an ADA lift will provide access to the Narthex and Social Hall. This will afford all our parishioners safe access to Church facilities during services and events. A Leadership 100 grant is providing funds for this project, but we still need to raise $47,230 to complete this project. We're calling on our parish family and friends to contribute towards this project and allow the Church to realize its mission to make the Church accessible to all. Help us reach our goal. Pledge and donate today! Pledge/Donate today.
Parish Council Elections will be held today following Divine Liturgy in the Dr. Peter Tsaknis Social Hall following the Divine Liturgy. All members in good standing are invited to cast a vote.
Join us in fellowship for our annual Stewardship Sunday Blessing of the Commitment Cards and Luncheon on Sunday, December 10th, following the Divine Liturgy.

Bible Study on the Psalms will be held each Wednesday at 5 p.m. via Zoom. If you are interested in participating, please contact Fr. George to sign up.
Altar Keepers: Your donation as an Altar Keeper allows us to purchase necessary altar supplies and upgrade altar liturgical vessels as needed. To date, we have purchased Gospel ribbons (multiple colors) and a hanging votive candle for the altar. We are currently reviewing options to purchase hanging votive candles for the icon screen, candle holders for the Holy Altar, a second ceremonial table, and a table for the Narthex that is befitting for the space. This can only come to fruition with donations from the faithful. Please consider making a donation to the Altar Keeper fund. Click here.
