> To promote the participation in the activities of the Greek Orthodox community, with the cooperation of the Parish Priest and the Parish Council.

​​

We encourage all Orthodox Christians to participate in a very active arm of the Parish, our beloved Ladies of Philoptochos Ministry. Although only the ladies can be active voting members, we welcome our brothers in the Lord to be associate members as well.

 

Your generosity supports the following:

​

Our Parish’s endeavors | Loudoun Abused Women's Shelter (LAWS) | AGAPE children’s medical fund | the poor | the aged | the sick | the handicapped | those needing special assistance | Members of the Parish in financial need who approach our Parish Priest

​

Our nominal fee of $50.00 for the entire year helps with various philanthropic outreach programs throughout our community, nationally as well as internationally. We encourage you all to join our beloved Ladies of Philoptochos Outreach Ministry so that we can continue to serve our Lord and in helping others for it is written,

​

“I was hungry and you fed Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in; I was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me.” (Matt. 25:35-40).

 

Our Ministry strives to obey the command of our Lord to help those in need. Thank you for your support!
