Nevertheless, in our constant mindset that our children need to be more involved in the best academic and athletic programs, there is a great danger in unconsciously neglecting "the Only Needful Thing {=Jesus Christ, and the salvation of our souls through Him}" (Luke 10:42), which should be simultaneously cultivated along with the other aspects of our children's lives, so that they may attain ...

 

 

FR.

And indeed Panagia's Dormition was most glorious, because her life was also Most-Holy. Panagia, my brethren, was a human being, because She was born in a natural manner. As a consequence, She was a participant in all the common signs of the human race. Nonetheless, She did not want to inherit the human mindset, nor was She ...

Please note that this Sunday there will be a 1 - Year Memorial Service for the   Very Rev. Father George Kiricoples. May God comfort his family and may his memory be eternal. Also, If you happen to come to church and go into the breezeway, you will see a table set up with Icons and books. They are from the collection of our beloved Father Dennis Canavos and were lovingly donated by Fotini Bobocharis and Alexandra Canavos.  Their wish is for parishioners to take home and enjoy. Remember that if you will not be attending church in person, you may still follow services online at  www.wsgoc.org .   Sunday August 16, 2020.pdf
