When the last prayer is said over the flower-banked grave, the dirt has been placed over the coffin, and the mourners drag leaden feet back to the somber funeral cars, we think that we shall never forget the loved ones we have laid to rest. Unfortunately, human nature is a strange thing and the world is a busy place. We return to the hectic life we live--with its business and housework, trips and outings, functions and operations, and its thousand of trivial details.

Too often our thoughts are far from our blessed ones who have departed from this world. Even less are our prayers as time wanes. Once in a while even the best of us feel a twinge of remorse that we might not have been as good as we could have been to the dear ones we mourn and miss. But there comes a special time during the year when we can commemorate them and think of them...SATURDAY of SOULS.

For three consecutive Saturdays beginning Saturday, February 6, we will have the opportunity to commemorate the faithful departed in Christ. It is during this time that we as relatives or friends bring koliva, bake special cakes or prosforo, and submit the names of our departed loved ones to be commemorated in the Church. Please remember to mark the dates and times of the Services: Saturdays February 6, February 13 and February 20 at 9:30 AM.

Είθε ο Κύριος ημών Ιησούς Χριστός δώση αναπαύση στις ψυχές τών προσφιλων μας αποθάνοντων και όπως οδηγήση ημας στήν εκπλήρωσιν τών υποχρώσεων μας προς αυτόν.
