Due to the untimely falling asleep in the Lord of one of our school children, as we all come together to grieve this loss we deem it appropriate to cancel the Philoptochos Thanksgiving General Meeting. The meeting is reschedule for Tuesday November 13, 2018 at 7pm at Sarantakos Hall.
The Ladies Philoptochos Society is also hosting a Thanksgiving Fudnraiser (click here for more information) and has prepared a Save the Date for its Annual Christmas Party (click here to view it).

St. Stephanos Fellowship Group: A Ministry for Young Adults
The St. Stephanos Group is open to all young adult members of the Saint Nicholas Greek Orthodox Shrine Church, ages 18-30. Aptly named by one of our priests after one of the first and youngest martyrs of the Christian church, this group encourages our youth to serve as active witnesses of their Orthodox faith through participation in social, spiritual and philanthropic activities. Whenever possible, we also collaborate with other young adult communities in our area, thus further expanding our circle of Orthodox Christian fellowship. We believe as the future body of our Orthodox church, there is no greater or more important mission than living out the precepts of our faith today.

Check our Facebook link listed below for future St. Stephanos events/postings and our photo gallery for photos of recent events. If you wish to be added to our e-mail mailing list, feel free to contact Sarah Holinski via the Church Office. For more information, click here.

"Let no one despise you for your youth, but be an example to the believers in word, in conduct...in spirit, in faith." (1 Tim. 4:12)
