FLORAL ARRANGEMENTS DURING GREAT LENT
Salutation services are offered during the five Fridays of Great Lent to honor the Theotokos. Salutations begin on March 22nd. If you would like to make a donation for flowers to adorn the Icon of Theotokos we have one Friday still available. You can do so by contacting the office. The cost is $100.
HELLENIC COLLEGE HOLY CROSS
On Sunday, April 7 Philoptochos will be holding baskets after Liturgy for HCHC donations. Your donations will be greatly appreciated. Archbishop Athenagoras established the Holy Cross School of Theology in June 1937, in Pomfret, Connecticut. The Archbishop addressed a special appeal to the Philoptochos to devote themselves to the School, “where your sons will be educated as priests and teachers.” Over eighty years later, Philoptochos continues its strong commitment to and financial support of Hellenic College/Holy Cross through Scholarships awarded to worthy and dedicated students, both men and women at Hellenic College and seminarians at Holy Cross to assist with tuition expenses.
SCHOLARSHIP
Scholarship applications are available on-line (transfigurationlowell.org) for graduating high school seniors planning on attending college in the fall. For further questions contact Pat Mahoney (pmahoney7@comcast.net) or 978-436-0998. The deadline for applications is May 1st.
YOUTH MINISTRY

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.
