Message from Father John

July 2000

Working hard and united we can do it!

With the love, blessing and enlightenment of our Lord we have completed another successful school year. We registered a large number of students in our schools and maintained high numbers in attendance in both the Church School and Hellenic Language and Culture School. Many thanks to the councils and teachers who worked hard and were united in their goals and efforts.

Our dance groups and our athletic groups also had another year of successful practices and successful competitions. We thank the instructors and the coaches for their outstanding work.

Our St. Nicholas Parish Council has worked and continues to work united, and their united and dedicated work is shown in the organizational and financial success of our Parish.

Festival 2000 was a great success, and we thank all the members who worked and contributed to make its success possible. A special thank you to the General Chairman Mr. Elias Psycharis.

Expansion is in progress! The two houses on Chapman are being built. If all goes well, the church office is scheduled to begin by the month of August, and our hall/gymnasium, by the end of this year, God willing. We all know that there is a great need for finances. We know that everyone wants to see the project completed as soon as possible. We all want to proceed with the next phase of our building plans-- the Church. We need the help and the financial support and the participation of each and every one of us. Please, don't ignore our plea for help.

Wishing you and your loved ones a restful and enjoyable summer, and a safe return home for all the travelers, I remain,

With blessings and love in Christ,

Father John

Your priest is at his office on week days from 9:30 a.m. through 4:30 p.m., or by arranged appointment at other times during the day or night. If you wish to see your priest at times other than his regular office hours, kindly call the Church Office for an appointment.

Your priest has many obligations and his program is wide and varied. It is advisable to call him. He is a servant to God and duty bound to minister at any time of the day or night. In the event of an emergency, the priest can be reached at his office, at his residence after hours, or through the Church secretary.

You are encouraged to visit your priest when you are facing serious problems. He has been trained to help people with their personal, family, and even business problems. The impartial judgment of a spiritual leader, together with his prayers for Divine guidance, will help you face your difficulties with renewed confidence.
