Dear Fellow Parishioners,

Greetings from the Philoptochos Board.  With 2011 in full swing, we continue to stay active in serving the community and our Church.  Most recently, around 50 women gathered in the Founders' Walk at our February 24th General Meeting as we made blankets for children at Riley Hospital.  We were helped by Kohls' associates that night and earlier that week in the cutting and finishing of approximately 60 blankets, and we thank them.  Also, thanks to Tracy Pappas,…

“It is a qualitative element of our faith that we believe in and accept a Creator, who fashioned the world out of love, making and calling it “very good.” Tending to and caring for this creation is not a political whim or a social fashion. It is a divine commandment; it is a religious obligation. It is no less than the will of God that we leave as light a footprint on our environment.
