OCTOBER 2015
Pastoral Reflections by Father Costas
As we consider the Lord’s blessings in
our lives and in our community, we are
in awe of His immense goodness toward
us. The greatest gifts to us are His Son,
Jesus Christ, and the constant presence of
His Holy Spirit working in the Church
and in our lives.
God endows each of us with personal gifts, talents
and material possessions. STEWARDSHIP is acknowledging that God is the source of each gift that
has been received by us.
Orthodox Christian Stewardship reminds us that
these gifts are not our own; that we have a trusteeship
over them and not an ownership. Stewardship means
to give a portion back to God, as a direct way of expressing our thanksgiving to Him for these gifts, because one day when we die and leave this earth, we
take nothing with us. As the 24th Plasm reminds us:
“the earth is the lord's and the fullness thereof”.
The months of October and November are very important for the Stewardship Program of our community. On the one hand we near completion of the previous year’s commitment, and on the other hand we
look ahead to recommitting and growing in our love
to our church and its ministries.
Someone once wrote that, “We can give without love
but such loveless giving has no value in the eyes of
God”. St. Paul writes, “If I give away all that I have…
but have not love, I gain nothing”, I Cor. 13:13). It is
only when we give because we love that our gift is
pleasing and acceptable to God. It is only when we
give with this understanding that we feel joy and
peace in our hearts.
As we bring to mind the Stewardship Program of our
community, I encourage all of us to look back and to
fulfill your 2015 Stewardship pledge. If we missed
any Sundays because we were on vacation, now is the
time to catch up. Our weekly offering to God is first
and foremost an offering of love. One can give without loving but one cannot love without giving.
I also encourage you to look ahead as you prayerfully
decide to make your 2016 Stewardship pledge. If
you’ve given the same amount for the last five or ten
years, then you’re giving out of habit. I invite you to
PAGE 3
examine your circumstances. If you can, please commit to increasing your weekly contribution. Can you
increase your weekly contribution by $5.00? That’s a
cup of coffee at Starbucks. Can you increase your
weekly contribution by $10.00? That’s lunch at Panera.
Imagine if everyone really took the time to examine
their resources and increased their giving accordingly.
My dream, and the Parish Council’s dream, is one day
to be able to fund fully our budget through Stewardship. That is, to raise at least $200,000.00 more of what
is being pledged and given every year. That can only
be done as we increase our stewardship contribution
to our community and decrease our dependency on
all other financial sources, (i.e. festival, rentals, and
catering.) As we’ve mentioned before, these are funds
that can be freed up for capital improvements and
general maintenance of our facility.
In closing I remind all of us that everything begins
with our commitment to Christ and His Holy Church.
I encourage you to continue to attend the Divine Liturgy faithfully, and be in church by 9:30 a.m., if not
before. Get involved in the life of our parish through
its many ministries. Check our church website,
(www.stpaulgoc.org), or the church Facebook reminders (St. Paul Greek Orthodox Church ~ North Royalton OH) for updated information.
Let us give thanks to our loving and merciful God,
and let us support His Church which nurtures us spiritually every day of our life; from cradle to grave.
May our Lord shelter us all under His protection.
Have a blessed month!

Sunday School Director Update
Greek School News
~ Presvytera Nicole
We had a GREAT start to the new Sunday School
year! We had 94 children in attendance and were
bursting at the seams! We hope that this continues as
the weeks progress!
We are jumping right into things in October. The first
major feast day we will learn about in October is the
Nativity of the Theotokos. Teachers will spend time
during one of the classes teaching about this feast, the
importance of it, and when it is celebrated.
October 4th is Youth Sunday. Dena Wilson will be
contacting your children to participate during the Liturgy with ushering, greeting, manning the candles
stands, etc. The children look forward to this each
year.
Also on October 4th, Sunday School will be hosting
the coffee social. Amber Rahas is chairing this event,
so please offer to bring something that day for coffee
hour.
We also will be participating in "Make a Difference"
day on Sunday, October 25th, with our Philoptochos.
It's an intergenerational program that is led by the National Philoptochos Society. Please watch for details
on a community service project we will do that day.
Please make Divine Liturgy and Sunday School a priority in your family's weekly schedule. We love having them in Sunday School and look forward to their
smiling faces each week.
Wishing you all a wonderful October! See you Sunday!
~ Kathy Glaros
Welcome back to another challenging year!
We, the Greek School teachers, would like to welcome
you, parents and students, to the Greek School Program of 2015—2016.
The new school year is off to a great start! It's nice to
still see so many smiles on the students every Monday
as they come to school. They are placed according to
their ages and individual needs. We have a dedicated
group of teachers that share their knowledge and skills
with the children.
As we begin this year, please remember that this is
your school and we welcome your involvement. Maintain contact with your child's teacher to establish a successful connection between home and school. Strong
parental involvement is a very important component
for our success.
I would like to thank all the parishioners who stopped
by our table at the Parish Fair on Sunday September
13th. I hope you all realize the importance of the Greek
language and give to your children the opportunity to
experience a wonderful year learning the Greek language and discover the richness of the Hellenic culture.
Many thanks to our spiritual leaders, Fr. Costas P.
Keares and Fr. Michael A. Gavrilos, for their spiritual
support and blessings on the first day of school and
throughout the school year.
Thank you for affording us the opportunity and privilege to teach your children Greek as a second language
as well as Greek culture.
Once again we welcome you and look forward to an
exciting and successful year for students, parents and
teachers alike!
I encourage you to contact me with any questions or
concerns at: (216) 524-1766. We value your input.
Happy Fall to all - Καλό
Φθινόπωρο σε όλους
σας!

St. Paul Hellenic Dancers
Eleni Johnson
Hellenic Dance Director
With the new ecclesiastical calendar we mark the beginning of another year of dance! The dance program
is such that it is not just preparing kids to dance under
the tent in July, it is a ministry of the church, to allow
our kids to connect with their culture and heritage as
well as to grow together with their peers. Through the
years, the instructors have watched as the dancers
grow and as they move through the program. We
watched them get to know each other the first few
years, and then cultivating their friendships throughout their high school years. It is evident that this program helps with strengthening ties and brings our
youth closer to our St. Paul Church community.
At the parish fair the instructors and I were lucky to
meet several new dancers that will be participating this
year. There are once again new dancers coming in at
every level and we couldn’t be happier. The instructors
and I want to welcome all of our new dancers and
dance families as well as welcoming back all the dancers who participated last year. If you have any questions or would like to help out in the various aspects of
the program, feel free to contact me or any of the instructors. Registration forms can be found on this page,
on the church website, or you can fill one out at practice. It is not too late to join! We ask that all of our
families fill out new registration forms each year because contact information tends to change. Registration
and payment deadline is October 31, 2015.
The entire practice schedule can also be found on the
church website. Instructors do take attendance and we
ask that your dancer be at as many practices as possible. Once your dancer gets into the Junior and Senior
levels their attendance is extremely important because
of the instruction given each week. If a dancer misses a
practice they miss a lot and it may be weeks before that
material is worked on again. Please make every effort
to be at practice. Please contact your instructor if your
dancer is going to be missing a practice.
Our next practices are: Sunday, October 11 & Sunday,
October 25.
This year’s Folk Dance Festival is being held at St.
Nicholas Cathedral in Pittsburgh, PA, Saturday, November 14 – Sunday, November 15. Many of our dancers participated in the Folk Dance Festival last year
when St. Paul hosted a wonderful event. Also, many
of our dancers attend year after year in various cities
and we all can agree that the skills they learn at these
events are vital to our program. The instructors will
be discussing this more with the dancers as we move
forward. Registration deadline is October 16 and room
reservations need to be made by October 16 to receive
the discounted rate. All information can be found on
the St. Paul website. Dancers need to be at least 7
years old to participate. We look forward to another
wonderful Folk Dance Festival!
Wishing you all a wonderful fall season.

Our Ladies Philoptochos continues our beautiful tradition of presenting every newborn in our community
with a handmade afghan at their 40-Day Blessing. Each afghan donated has a tag that indicates that
it was hand-made by Philoptochos and a card with
the donor’s name as well as the children’s book “What
Do You See at Liturgy” enclosed as a memento of this
special occasion. In all, we have collected 138 baby
afghans to date! Many thanks to Maria Lovejoy for the
four beautiful afghans she donated last month. If you
would like to create baby afghans they should be approximately 30 x 36 inches knitted or crocheted in
washable yarn.
Our Ladies Philoptochos is also creating afghans for
our homebound parishioners. These lap afghans are
given to our homebound parishioners who welcome a
visit from our Philoptochos ladies. In total, we have
collected 62 cozy afghans to date! If you know of anyone who would enjoy such a visit, please let us know.
Each lap afghan should be approximately 40x48 inches knitted or crocheted in washable yarn.
The next Afghan Workshop will be held at church in
the Teen Room on Thursday, October 29, 2015 from
10:00 – 11:30 AM. Patterns and donated yarn are distributed at our Afghan Workshops. Monetary donations
are also accepted in lieu of hand-made afghans to offset
the costs of this project. Please contact Maria Lovejoy

Festival News
~ John James
The results of our 2015 Festival are now complete.
You are allt o be congratulated for another successful
Festival. Our gross was $332,000.00 with a net profit
of $159,000.00. As you can see, to achieve these results
it takes a total parish effort. Our Festival Committee
thanks all of you who participated by helping at the
Festival, placing an ad in our album, or making a
monetary donation.
Since this is the last Festival that I have served as either chair or co-chairman, I wish to thank each and
every one of you who have helped us grow and improve our Festival each year. I wish to thank everyone who has stepped up to chair for the various
booths, both past and present. Serving as your chairman or co-chair over the past 20 years has also given
me the opportunity to meet many parishioners who I
might have never met otherwise.
I would also like to thank Father Costas, Father Michael and the Parish Council for their support over the
years. This has been a very rewarding experience for
me and I am thankful for all of your support.
As we move forward, I hope that everyone will give
the same support to the new co-chairmen, Mike Lignos and John Trihas, that you have given to me.
W
e would like to take this opportunity to
recognize ALL our advertisers who support the printing of our monthly publication, The Messenger. Please take a moment to see what
our advertisers have to offer and patronize their businesses throughout the year.

You” to the 385 families who have made a stewardship commitment to our parish. There is still

Stewardship is an opportunity to examine our priorities and values, to express our thankfulness, to give of
ourselves and to grow in grace. It allows us to participate in the work of God. Giving is not a substitute for
commitment—it is an expression of your commitment. As St. John Chrysostom said, “A Rich Man is
not one who has much but one who gives much. For
what he gives away remains his forever.”
Please take time to make your Stewardship Commitment today and enable our Church to grow her ministries and carry on her mission. For your convenience,

Be the Bee
In our Bookstore
This month we are featuring new books recently acquired
on Elders and recent saints in our bookstore.
WOUNDED BY LOVE ~ THE LIFE AND THE WISDOM OF SAINT PORPHYRIOS
Elder Porphyrios, a Greek monk and
priest who died in 1991, stands in the
long tradition of charismatic spiritual
guides in the Eastern Church which
continues from the apostolic age down
to figures such asd Saint Seraphim of
Sarov and Staretz Silouan in modern
times. In this book he tells the story of
his life and, in simple, deeply reflected
and profoundly wise words, he expounds the Christian Faith today.
THE BLESSED ELDER GEORGE KARSLIDES
This is an account of an elder wellknown for his miracles and prophecies,
who was canonized in 2008 by the Patriarchate of Constantinople.
Visit our bookstore every Sunday following Divine Liturgy
or call the church office if you would like to come by during
the week. We also have gift certificates available in any denomination. These make great gifts!
The Department of Youth and Young
Adult Ministries (Y2AM) began a weekly
series of short, informative, entertaining,
and spiritually beneficial videos. The series, “Be the
Bee,” is named after a metaphor associated with Elder
Paisios of Mount Athos (+1994), and explores ways
that we can all focus on what is good and beautiful in
our everyday lives.
“Our Department has been very successful at connecting
with people and sharing the Faith through a variety of social
media, and we realized that there wasn’t much of an Orthodox presence on YouTube,” said Father Jason Roll, Director. “Our youth are already on YouTube, so why aren’t
we? It’s a natural way to preach the Gospel and spread
Christ’s unconditional love.”
Viewers can access the channel by searching “Y2AM”
on YouTube, or going to www.youtube.com/user/
y2am.
“Thank God, the response has been very positive so
far,” said “Be the Bee” host and Youth Protection /
Parish
Ministries
Coordinator,
Steven
Christforou. “Our first episode had over 600 views,
and we hope that this series will be helpful to an ever
wider audience.”
New episodes are released every Thursday afternoon.
Memorial Trisagia
The North Royalton Hunger Food Center is running
low on the following items: cereal, peanut butter, jelly,
cake and brownie mixes, canned pasta, instant potatoes, and rice and potato mixes. Items can be placed
in the basket at the top of the stairs as you enter
church. Please be sure to check the expiration date
and DO NOT bring any perishable items.
The Church gives us this opportunity during these
services to remember in prayer the names of our loved
ones who have fallen asleep in the Lord. When you
call the office to schedule a Memorial or a Trisagion
service, please be very specific with the names you
want the clergy to commemorate. Confusion arises
when the clergy receive additional names on Sunday
morning than those that were given into the office,
and they do not specify if they want these names to be
commemorated in the memorial/trisagion service or
they simply want the priest to pray for them in the
altar during the proskomide preparation.
AFTER
THE
FIRST
YEAR
ANNIVERSARY
OF
THEIR
PASSING, IT IS NOT NECESSARY TO INCLUDE THE
NUMBER OF YEARS.
SIMPLY SUBMIT THE NAME. Thank
you for helping us be more organized and avoid any
misunderstanding.

the Orthodox Christian youth of America an unparalleled spiritual and cultural summer camping experience.

around the beautiful Ionian Village campgrounds.
Each day will bring a new excursion for participants

program, such as Zakynthos, Kefalonia, Kalavrita, and
Osios Loukas, as well as new elements unique to the
Spiritual Odyssey experience.
2016 SUMMER CAMPING PROGRAMS
The picturesque Ionian Village campgrounds sit along
the shores of the pristine Ionian Sea and are equipped
with a private beach, a renovated Olympic-sized pool,
air-conditioned cabins, and various athletic courts and
fields. Campers actively explore their Orthodox faith and
heritage, both through the daily at-camp program and
through excursions to culturally and religiously significant sites throughout Greece. Excursions include Ancient
Olympia, Patras, Zakynthos, Kefalonia, Kalavrita, Aegina, and Athens. Each 20-day session is open to young
people who have completed grades 8 through 12.

OCTOBER 2015
ΕΛΛΗΝΙΚΗ ΓΩΝΙΑ
Αγαπητοί μου φίλοι όπως πάντα πιστή,στο μηνιαίο μας
ραντεβού σας καλοσορίζω σ'αυτόν
τον Φθινοπωρινό μήνα. Και ο
Οκτώβριος είναι γεμάτος από γιορτές
Εθνικές και θρησκευτικές. Οπως π.χ
στις 3 Οκτωβρίου γιορτάζουμε την
μνήμη του Αγίου Διονυσίου του
Αεροπαγίτη. Ευκαιρία είναι να
μάθουμε δυο λόγια γιά τον βίο του. Ο
Άγιος Διονύσιος γεννήθηκε στην
Αθήνα από πλούσιους, αρχοντικούς γονείς μά και
ειδωλολάτρες. Τήν εποχή εκείνη, η Αθήνα ξακουστή
πόλη γιά τα πολλά πολιτικά κόμματα, τους σοφούς της
και τα πολιτεύματα της, ο Διονύσιος που ήτανε ο πιό
δίκαιος άνθρωπος έγινε δικηγόρος. Ήταν ακόμα νέος
όταν πήγε στην Αίγυπτο και αμέσως μόλις γύρισε στην
Αθήνα τότε έγινε Αεροπαγίτης. Σε λίγο καιρό στην
Αθήνα έφτασε ο Άγιος Παύλος και ζήτησε την άδεια
γιά να μιλήσει στους Αθηναίους γιά μία νέα
διδασκαλία. Τούς είπε γιά τον Χριστό, γιά την
Σταύρωση του και την Ανάσταση και πολλά άλλα γύρο
από την ζωή και τον θάνατο του Χριστού. Ο Διονύσιος
πού τον άκουγε με προσοχή, όταν τελείωσε τον λόγο
του, τον πήρε στο σπίτι του τον Άγιο Παύλο και έμαθε
πιό πολλά γιά τον Χριστό. Αμέσως ο Διονύσιος πίστεψε
στην νέα θρησκεία. Στην Αθήνα τότε ήτανε Αρχιερέας ο
σοφός Ιερόθεος. Αναπάντεχα όμως απεβίοσε. Ο Παύλος
αμέσως χειροτόνησαι Επίσκοπο Αθηνών τον Διονύσιο,
ο οποίος με την βοήθεια του Αγίου Πνεύματος έγινε
ακόμα πιό πολύ σοφός και έγραψε πολλά βιβλία γιά
την θρησκεία του Χριστού. Έκανε πολλά ταξίδια και
έκτισε πολλές εκκλησίες και γκρέμιζε τα είδωλα. Φυσικά
γρήγορα μαθεύτικαν τα νέα, πιάστηκε αιχμάλωτος και
πήγε στον δικαστή. Ο Διονύσιος αρνήθηκε να
προσκυνήσει τα είδωλα κι ο δικαστής έδωσε εντολή νά
τους αποκεφαλίσουν αυτόν και τους μαθητές του. Οι
δήμιοι τους πήγαν σ'ενα βουνό, όπου εκεί έγινε Τό
Θαύμα. Όταν έκοψαν το κεφάλι του Αγίου, αυτός
σηκώθηκε, πήρε το κεφάλι του στα χέρια και αφού
περπάτησε δύο μίλια βρήκε μία γυναίκα που την
έλεγαν Κατούλα και της άφησε στα χέρια το κεφαλι.
Αυτή πήρε τα λείψανα και τα έθαψε έξω από το Παρίσι
όπου υπάρχει Εκκλησία αφιερωμένη στους τρείς
μάρτυρες Διονύσιο, Ρουστικό, Ελευθέριο. Ηταν 3
Οκτωβρίου.
Φίλοι μου καλή μας αντάμωση τον άλλο μήνα, πάντα
υγεία.Ελάτε να τα πούμε απο κοντά κάθε πρώτη
Κυριακή του μήνα !!!
Με αγάπη, Μαρία Καρλατήρα (Μαράκι)
