Please help us by informing the church of those who are ill, in the hospital, nursing home, or recuperating at home. Fr. Matthew needs to be informed in order to visit with them. Also, be sure to register in the hospital as Greek Orthodox so that Fr. Matthew may be able to visit you; this is due to the Privacy Laws in force.

Let us remember those who are ill, recovering, and/or homebound: Angelo Angeledes, Connie Batounis, Maria Bucci (mother of Sandra Papanikolaou), Angela Dentiste, Koula Fragos, Harry Fronista, Demitra George, Dan Kirkby (brother of Matthew), Nick Lazaridis, Georgia Macris, Anne Pinkston, Helen Psillias (mother of Renee Theophilos), Marigo Ruch (sister of Renee Theophilos), George P. Saffo (Autumn Care), Tony Spirakis (Autumn Care), Fr. John Stavropoulos and GYSGT Stavros Tsantiles, USMC and his two sons Christopher Tsantiles and Stephanos Tsantiles.

CONGRATULATIONS to Mayor Bill Saffo and family on his reelection as Mayor of the City of Wilmington.

AXIOS to Barnabas Powell on his ordination to the Holy Diaconate today, Sunday, November 8 at the Cathedral in Atlanta.

CONGRATULATIONS to Pantelis Miliotis and Maria Stasios, this year’s recipients of the Archangel Michael Award.

WELCOME to Fr. John Shalhoub who will celebrate our Divine Liturgy today while Fr. Matthew attends the Archangel Michael Awards in Atlanta.
