FELLOWSHIP
Everyone is welcome to join us for Fellowship following Liturgy.
100TH ANNIVERSARY
Thank you to everyone who helped make Sunday’s “100 Years of Memories” such an amazing success. A special thank you to Olivia Sintros and Pat Mahoney for their leadership and countless hours of work and to Makarios Kitenda for his videography work. And thank you to each parishioner who took time out of their weekend to see this labor of love. If you missed the event, we will make every effort to leave exhibits up through Palm Sunday.
TRANSFIGURATION TRIVIA 1924-2024
Did you know that within our 100 year history, Nicholas Tzanetakos served as choir director for 30 years, Vito Selvaggio as choir director for 40 years and Helen Georges as organist for 65 years? Stephanie and Marc Gulezian have a few more years to go.
LENTEN MEAL AND LECTURE SERIES
Our Lenten Meal and Lecture Series take place every Wednesday of Lent immediately following PreSanctified Liturgy. This Wednesday’s Meal will be hosted by Parish Council and the speaker will be Fr. Gregory Floor.
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.
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.
