100TH ANNIVERSARY

TRANSFIGURATION TRIVIA 1924-2024
Did you know in 1939 we had an organization of young men called the Hellenic Orthodox Youth Association with George Kostoulakos as president? This “Trans Patrol” unit was much sought after to participate in parades and marching events within the community.
FLORAL ARRANGEMENTS DURING GREAT LENT
Salutation services are offered during the five Fridays of Great Lent to honor the Theotokos. Salutations will begin on March 22nd. Please consider making a donation for flowers to adorn the Icon of Theotokos. You can do so by contacting the office. The cost is $100 for each week.
SATURDAY OF SOULS LITURGIES USHER IN GREAT LENT
As we approach the start of Great and Holy Lent on March 18, you are encouraged and welcome to submit the names of loved ones who have passed away to be commemorated on the three Saturdays of Souls: March 9th, 16th, and 23rd. For your convenience, a form can be found in the narthex. You can mail or email your list of names to the parish office or bring them to church when you attend services.

SAINT JOHN CHRYSOSTOM ORATORICAL FESTIVAL
This year's SJCOF has kicked off for students in grades 7-12. Parish-level speeches will be held on Sunday, April 7, immediately following Divine Liturgy. All youth are encouraged to take advantage of this exciting opportunity to develop critical thinking and the art of public speaking centered around our faith in today's world.
ANNUAL DONATION STATEMENTS
There has been an error at the Post Office causing a delay in your annual donation statements which went out faithfully on February 1st. The Post Office is aware of the issue and working to rectify the situation. If you need your statement sooner for tax purposes, please contact the office to resend your statement via email. We apologize for the inconvenience.
LEAVE A BRICK CAMPAIGN
You may have noticed the 4X8 and 8X8 bricks at the entrance. The bricks date back to when the building committee began the planning for the Family Life Center. Installing bricks beneath the front portico and in the rear of the center leading to the back door would be a wonderful way to allow our parishioners to participate in bricks inscribed with the names of family and friends.
The bricks can provide a family name or a special remembrance for memorials, christenings, birthdays or anniversaries. The bricks will last a lifetime and will always be a part of the entrance to our church.
If you are interested in having a brick inscribed, please contact the church office for an order form. The cost of the bricks is $125.00 for a 4X8 inscribed brick and $225 for an 8X8 inscribed brick.
