Greek School: Smooth operation amidst construction

Starting November 4, and for the duration of construction, our classes have been relocated at New Hope Church (PCUSA), 700 S. Rosemead Blvd., Pasadena, CA 91107.

All the children/youth and most of the adult courses are now taking place in five spacious rooms that our neighbor church has very generously donated and for which we are very thank- ful. Our deep gratitude goes to our Father Peter, whose tireless mediation has secured this excellent and convenient schooling facility while building is continuing at St. Anthony’s.

We wish from the heart to the whole St Anthony Community

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!
