PRIEST’s MESSAGEs
WELCOME!
On
behalf of the Parish President, the members of the Parish Council and the
entire community, I would like to welcome you all to the Annual Greek
Festival of our St Nectarios Church in Covina. We give you the
opportunity to participate and share with us the culture and heritage
which we as Greeks have received and share with you all to perpetuate
from generation to generation.
The
members of our parish have worked hard to prepare the delicious
traditional authentic Greek foods and pastries. Don’t hesitate to taste
and enjoy them. Let your imagination journey to that small country of
great heroes, philosophers and literary writers-Greece. Enjoy the
sounds of the Greek music that has spread all over the world, bringing
the message of joy, optimistic hope, passion and love.
Visit
our beautiful Byzantine style Church, through our church tours and
discover the theology of the icons, see the books filled with Byzantine
music and hear the church hymns and psalms. I personally, or one of my
helpers, look forward to explaining and sharing the beauty of our
Orthodox Faith with you.
We
are hopeful that we will achieve the goal of our Festival, to bring you
good entertainment, progress in life and faith, and spiritual
understanding.
With
parental wishes

Dear
Parishioners and Friends,
The
summer is here again, and so being our Annual Greek Festival.
Our
Church’s Greek Festival has been a long tradition to celebrate the
Greek culture as well as being our main fund raiser to keep the doors
of our church open.
I
would like to remind you, that we started collecting adds for the
Webpage Festival Program, and we are looking for sponsors for the
booths, as well as donations of various product. Information is
available in the weekly bulletins and in the church office, and you can
contact myself or Rebecca Lawdis at any time.
We also ask you to timely sign up for the tasks that you will be
volunteering during the festival.
I
hope and pray through with our patron Saint Nectarios’ intercessions,
and God’s blessing, we will have a successful festival.
God
Bless,
Mary
Yaffa Iacobsohn
Parish Council President
and the Board Members
of St. Nectarios Church
