Happy New Year to All! Καλή χρονιά!

It was a joy to watch our Sunday School and Greek School perform in the Christmas pageant! We are grateful for the incredible response to our joint service project organized by our Goyans, Greek School, and Sunday School: collecting toys/gifts for the Golisano Children’s Hospital. As always we are humbled by the generosity of our parish community.

Here is what we are looking forward to in January:

We will have our second chapel lesson on January 8th – these lessons are graciously offered by Juan Linares and Sam Dragos and walk our children through the Divine Liturgy and sacraments of Communion and Baptism. We’ve also included a new Religious Education Bingo Board for children and their families to complete over the next 3 months. Bingo Board winners for the fall are announced below!

We were delighted to recognize our children and their families who had perfect attendance for at least one month during the fall, and we have perfect attendance to announce for November! Congratulations to all the children who came every Sunday in December and to their families who brought them!!

Perfect Attendance for November
