We hope to keep the faithful informed of all activities, programs, and events in not only our Parish but within neighboring communities.  We offer many activities and programs for all ages.  On our website you can be informed of scheduled events and keep up-to-date with news of our parish, Ladies Auxiliary, the Hellenic heritage programs such as Greek School and AHEPA; as well as the various ministries in the surrounding area.

Our Sunday School Program meets every Sunday following Divine Liturgy/Communion.
