PHILOPTOCHOS SOCIETY

Christine Kontgas, President

The Greek Orthodox Ladies Philoptochos Society, the official Philanthropic organization of the Greek Orthodox Church in the Americas, was established in November 1931 by the late Ecumenical Patriarch Athenagoras 1, who was then serving as Archbishop of North and South America.

The philanthropic programs of Philoptochos have spanned nearly six decades. Their accomplishment during the past 60 years are monumental and are recorded in the history of every Philoptochos Chapter throughout the Archdiocese.
