St. Spyridon Greek Orthodox Church

FATHER NICOLAS' MESSAGE

Beloved Friends and Parishioners of Saint Spyridon,

This Sunday, following the Divine Liturgy, our Community will be marching in the Greek Independence Day Parade for the first time after many years. We are glad and grateful to join our friends from the PanKerkyraiko. Our position to march is #33.

I also would like to invite all of you to consider prayerfully offering donations to our Easter Flower Fund to decorate the church and the small Epitaphio.

Join us, during your spiritual journey towards Pascha, for the weekday services and our Lenten project.

With Christ’s love,

Fr. Nicolas

CHILDRENS QUIET ROOM

Please feel free to bring your child to the Quiet Room to read a book if they are restless in church. Our Quiet Room is outside the elevator on the church level. There are sofas and a basket with books.

IN TIMES OF ILLNESS

"Come, O blessed of my father, inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world; for I was sick and you visited me." (Matt. 25:31-46).

When a member of our Parish is ill and has been hospitalized or may be recuperating at home, the immediate family of the ill person should contact Father Nicolas at (212) 795-5870. It is beneficial to both the body and the soul when our priest prays for us when we are healthy or ill.
