Pastor's Message
Dear Fellow Parishioners,
Have you ever noticed that many of us see church attendance as an
obligation and a troublesome duty, rather than as a gift? We need to be mindful of
the fact that living in a society of many temptations and countless mixed messages,
we badly need the encouragement of one another to help us become and remain
strong Christians. It is only by supporting one another that we are able to avoid
distraction, remain focused, and order our priorities rightly. That is why St. Paul
writes "Let us not give up the habit of meeting together ... but let us encourage one
another all the more." (Heb. 10:25).
In visiting the shut-ins of our parish, I am struck by the fact that they who
can no longer attend church because of physical limitation, appreciate this gift more
than any others. Remarkably, however, their deprivation does not cause their faith
to cool or their enthusiasm to wane. They eagerly wait for the sacraments of the
Church to be brought to them, and many request and listen to the tapes of the Bible
study classes, Sunday sermons, and daily meditations we make available to them.
Their forced confinement is not marked by a decline in faith, but in a deepening of
their spiritual lives
What a lesson they provide for us! For those who attend church, they are a
reminder that our presence at worship is not the fulfillment of a responsibility but the
receipt of a gift and an opportunity for respite and renewal. For those others of us,
all other superficial excuses aside, who are unable to attend worship because of
illness, the limitations of age, the special responsibilities of our livelihood, or any
other legitimate reason, these deeply spiritual people encourage us not to feel
forgotten and not to allow indifference to undermine our faith.
We are all a part of the church even when for good reason we cannot attend.
Like the shut-ins, we too can pray for the church, for its ministry, its needs and its
people. At the same time, those of us who are not limited must take the church to
those who cannot attend. We must visit them regularly, bring them antidoron, and
be God's presence in their lives. In this way we "bear one another's burdens, and so
fulfill the law of Christ." (Gal. 6:2).
This year Great and Holy Lent begins on February 15th. I would ask you to
commit yourself and your family this lenten season to becoming regular participants
in t.he life of the Church through personal participation in the Holy Services and
Sacraments.

On behalf of the students and teachers of the Greek School, I wish you all a very
healthy, happy, successful, productive, and peaceful New Year.
Just to update you with what's going on at our Greek School. January is a busy
month. On the first Friday of the month, every class cuts a Vasilopita. Greek traditions
related to this event are discussed with students and all students wait with anticipation to
find out whose piece will contain the lucky coin. On the third week of the month, students
take their Midterms Examinations and report cards are issued on January 29, 2010.
The day of the Three Hierarchs, the Fathers of Greek Letters and Education, is also
commemorated in January. Students learn about these three great men and prepare
speeches to present in church on January 31st•
From January to May, on the last Friday of each month, the "Reading-Buddies"
Program takes place. Older students pair-up with the younger ones for some quality
reading time and bonding. The older students read their favorite Greek book to the
younger ones. The grades in the middle have competitions in Greek word games. These
activities are done to implement the curriculum and make Greek school time more exciting.
In addition, on January 23rd our PTA will host the Apokriatiko Glendi and we invite
you all to come and celebrate Apokries with us. (See PTA's AD for more info.)
In February we will have our annual Ice-Skating event. Our students will meet with
students from other Greek communities in the Westchester area to skate under the sounds
of Greek music as they develop new friendships. Details will follow.
On Friday, March 19th, we will celebrate Greek Independence Day in the social hall
and we hope that you can come to watch our children perform.
The Greek Parade this year will be held on Sunday, April 25, 2010. We hope for a
good representation from our community. More details to follow.
Also, for those parents, parishioners, and their friends who wish to learn or improve
their Greek, please come join us on the adult language level. The spring semester for the
Adult Greek Language Program begins in February. Registration starts now. For dates,
registration form, and information about the program please refer to the next page. For
further inquiries, don't hesitate to contact me.
Respectfully yours,

We will be making "Build-a-Bear" bears for all the children
in the Ronald McDonald House in NYC.
All the bears will be distributed to the children on
Saturday, February 27th
~
: "Bears from the Heart" Service Project Details:
·
·····
·
1. Each participating parish will decide a day that their GOY A will go to a Build-aBear store location near them to make the bears for the children. This project
must be completed before February 27,2010.
2. At the Build-a-Build store, the advisor(s) will split the GOYAns into groups
depending on how many bears need to be made. (Example. 10 bears to be
made ....30 GOYAns participating in building a bear ..... then there will be 10
groups 00 GOY Ans per group)
3. Each group will make their bear following all the guidelines of the service project
(meaning ...which bear they can choose from ...accessories, etc.) Guidelines
attached. PLEASE FOLLOW ALL THE PROJECT GUIDELINES!
4. After each group has completed their bear, the advisor(s) will take a picture of the
group with the bear they made. The group will also make a card. The card, the
Build-a-Bear birth certificate, and picture of the group will be included in the bear
gift to the child.
5. On Saturday, February 27th all the participating parishes will send one or two
representatives from their parish to meet at the Ronald McDonald House at
12:3Opm to "hand-deliver" the bears all the groups made. Due to the restrictions
the Ronald McDonald House has, we can not have more than 1-2 representatives
per parish. This will add a special touch to the whole service project!

New Rochelle, New York 10804
On November 4, Congresswoman Nita Lowey attended the joint House and Senate luncheon hosted
by Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Majority Leader Harry Reid honoring His All Holiness Ecumenical Patriarch
Bartholomew during his recent visit to the United States.
Our foreign policy must advance the values that empower people to speak, think, worship and
assemble freely and to lead their lives with dignity. His All Holiness has long been a champion of religious
freedom and peaceful coexistence and has helped to bridge longstanding divides.
You would be pleased to know that I am a cosponsor ofH.Res. 838, which passed the House on
October 28 and recognizes the importance of Ecumenical Patriarch Batholomew's leadership. This
resolution echoes his call for Turkey to grant religious freedom and property rights to the Ecumenical
Patriarchate. I also cosponsored H.Res 236 which calls on Turkey to eliminate all forms of discrimination,
grant the Ecumenical Patriarch appropriate international recognition, safeguard religious and human rights,
and respect international law, European Union laws, and basic tenets of human rights.
I support Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew's call for religious tolerance I will continue to press for
the reopening of Halki Seminary and protection of the rights of the Ecumenical Patriarchate.
It has always been my pleasure to work in Congress on behalf of issues of mutual concern. If you
would like to receive my monthly e-newsletter or if I can be of assistance in any way, please call my office at
(914) 428-1707 or (845) 639-3485, or visit my website at www.lowey.house.gov.
Sincerely,
4:-1
