Did you know our new church was "established" on this day March 24, 1924, then formally and officially "founded" on April 11, 1924? The very first liturgical service was conducted on Palm Sunday, April 20, 1924.
GREEK INDEPENDENCE DAY – MARCH 25
On Monday, March 25th, the celebration of the Annunciation to the Theotokos followed by the Greek Independence procession to City Hall will once again take place at Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church in Lowell. The Transfiguration family will be joining Holy Trinity for the celebration. The day will begin with Orthros at 8 AM followed by the Divine Liturgy at 9 AM. Following the Divine Liturgy and Doxology there will be a procession to City Hall and the ceremonial flag raising. Please join us to celebrate these two major events in our spiritual and cultural history that commemorate our freedom from sin, oppression, and tyranny.
LENTEN MEAL AND LECTURE SERIES
Our Lenten Meal and Lecture Series takes place every Wednesday of Lent immediately following PreSanctified Liturgy. This Wednesday’s Meal will be hosted by Philoptochos and the speaker will be Fr. Dan Suciu from San Antonio, Texas in the Metropolis of Denver. He will speak to us on a Lenten to be announced. You won’t want to miss this amazing speaker.

SAINT JOHN CHRYSOSTOM ORATORICAL FESTIVAL
The Parish level SJCOF will take place on April 7 following Divine Liturgy.
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.
