On behalf of the entire community of Holy Mother of God
Greek Orthodox Church, I extend to you our warmest welcome to
Tallahassee’s Greek Food Festival 2015!
We hope your visit is pleasant and satisfying in all aspects of mind,
body, and spirit. We have labored long and hard to make sure your time is
well spent and offer the best Greek food. The food has been prepared by
many of the parishioners with recipes that have been passed down through
the generations.
We hope you enjoy the music, dancing and Greek hospitality
to make your visit feel like home. I believe you’ll find that we share love of family, laughter
and enjoyment of great food. Besides the food and dancing, you are invited to our place
of worship to partake of a church tour that will lead you to the ancient traditions of the
Orthodox Christian faith. Our community is comprised of Americans with many ethnic
origins and we look forward to getting to know you during your time with us.
If we can be of any assistance to you, please do not hesitate to ask any member of
the community. I hope I have a chance to meet you during your visit to the festival and once
again welcome to our home.
God Bless You and Your Families,
Rev. Fr. Robert J. O’Loughlin
