Sunday Highlights
Sunday of Orthodoxy and Feast of Saint Patrick. Happy Name Day to our own Deacon Patrick!
An amazing and busy Sunday at Holy Trinity! The Bible lesson of Zacchaios and his height was highlighted by Fr. Nick to the Sunday School using students as the examples. In addition, the Greek School gave a short program on the occasion of the Feast of the Three Hierarchs (January 30). Finally, Fr. Nick officially welcomed Fr. Andrew Cadieux as Holy Trinity’s part time assistant pastor and announced the commencement of Monday School - on January 28th led this year by Dr. Matthew Lootens.
The annual cutting of the Visilopita for the ministries and organizations of our parish was held today at the conclusion of the Divine Liturgy. Peter Lambros, parishioner and Vice President of St. Michaels Home was the recipient of the first Vasilopita coin.
Additionally, the Oath of Office was administered by Fr. Nick to the 2019 Parish Council. Elected members of the new Executive Board include: John Dos Santos, President; George Kourakos, Vice President; George Kontos, Treasurer; and Ron Nicholas, Secretary.
Lord, when You were baptized in the Jordan, the veneration of the Trinity was revealed. For the voice of the Father gave witness to You, calling You Beloved, and the Spirit, in the guise of a dove, confirmed the certainty of His words. Glory to You, Christ our God, who appeared and enlightened the world.
At the conclusion of the Christmas Liturgy a symbolic “Mortgage Burning” was held honoring Mr. John Rapp and Dr. George Yancopoulos - two individuals who made the purchase of the North Avenue parcel possible.
The loan provided to the community for the purchase by Mr. Rapp was paid in full just prior to Christmas this year with a generous donation by Dr. Yancopoulos. Participants included Fr. Nick, John Rapp, Costa Papademetriou, former past president and Dino Yotides, current Parish Council President.
