JOIN US FOR COFFEE FELLOWSHIP
Everyone is welcome to join us for fellowship following services.
LENTEN MEAL AND LECTURE SERIES
Now that the pandemic has subsided, we have reintroduced our Lenten Meal and Lecture Series. These will take place every Wednesday of Lent immediately following PreSanctified Liturgy: This Wednesday’s Meal will be hosted by the Choir and the speaker will be Ann Karakatsanis.
PHILOPTOCHOS
Philoptochos is collecting donations for Hellenic College Holy Cross. Proceeds provide for Hellenic College Holy Cross operational expenses and to the scholarship fund where many of our sons can be educated as priests and teachers. Thank you for your generous support.
ORATORICAL FESTIVAL
Oratorical Festival: please encourage your child to participate in this year’s St. John Chrysostom Oratorical Festival. Fr. Gregory is available to assist them with ideas and resources each step of the way. This is an invaluable opportunity for your child to learn more about their Faith while gaining valuable public speaking experience. Plus, they could win a scholarship. To see this year’s topics, to learn more, or to see scholarships your child can win visit the archdiocese website at https:\\www.goarch.org.
THANK YOU!
This past fall, through the very generous donation from the Helene Antonakis estate, we were able to replace the heating and air conditioning system for the church proper and hall/kitchen. The new units have been working beautifully and we’re very grateful to Helen Antonakis for remembering the Transfiguration Church in her will.
Additionally, through the very generous donation from the Chris and Carole Rodis estate, the family chose to have the chandeliers in the church proper cleaned and refurbished. Please look up the next time you’re in church to see how beautiful they sparkle!
Thank you to all involved and may their memories be eternal!

PRAYER SHAWL MINISTRY
We are looking to start a Prayer Shawl Ministry at the church and are welcoming any interested participants to contact Stephanie Gulezian at stephaniegulezian@gmail.com. This ministry aims to provide hand knit or crocheted prayer shawls to parishioners who are sick or are needing care. We will also happily accept gift card donations to craft stores (such as Michael's) to purchase yarn and supplies.
