Present at the signing was His Grace Bishop Sevastianos, National Philoptochos Spiritual Advisor. Representing National Philoptochos were Aphrodite Skeadas, National President; Joanne Kakoyiannis, National Treasurer; Anita Kartalopoulos, National Legal Advisor; Helen Lavorata, Director and Mona L. Lao, attorney. The property closing is expected to occur in November 2012. His Eminence Archbishop Demetrios shared his vision and gave his blessing in 2009 for Philoptochos to purchase a permanent residence in New York City. The entire Society with the support of its 485 Philoptochos Chapters and 27,500 members nationwide has worked tirelessly since then to secure the funds to “Open the Doors” to its Philopto- chos home ensuring, with permanence, the continuation of its noble mission. National Philoptochos launched its “Open the Doors” Campaign with YouTube videos, online giving, and print ma- terials and with the support of the Metropolises, the Chapters, Stewards and friends of Philoptochos has raised $2 million to date. The Philoptochos Chapter Giving Tree Campaign was unveiled at the 2012 National Philoptochos Convention in Phoenix, AZ with an overwhelming response of over $200,000 pledged in support of the Philoptochos Center of Philanthropy. National President Aphrodite Skeadas reflected upon the importance of this final campaign to raise the funds to pur- chase the Center and stated “We are honored to announce an immense demonstration of generosity to our beloved Philoptochos assisting us to “Open the Doors”. The Mary Jaharis Challenge Gift will match every $1,000 Leaf with another $1,000 up to a total of $500,000. The Chapter Leaves and the munificent Mary Jaharis Challenge Gift will generate the $1,000,000 needed to complete our purchase.” The Chapter Giving Tree will greet all who enter the new Philoptochos home and will include a Leaf for each Philop- tochos Chapter nationwide that will be permanently displayed at the Center. Philoptochos was established in 1931 and celebrated its 80th Anniversary of service and philanthropy in 2011.

And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works. (Hebrews 10: 23-24) To the Most Reverend Hierarchs, the Reverend Priests and Deacons, the Monks and Nuns, the Presidents and Mem- bers of the Parish Councils of the Greek Orthodox Communities, the Distinguished Archons of the Ecumenical Patri- archate, the Day, Afternoon, and Church Schools, the Philoptochos Sisterhoods, the Youth, the Hellenic Organiza- tions, and the entire Greek Orthodox Family in America. Beloved Brothers and Sisters in Christ, On this Sunday, October 21, nearest to the Feast of Saint Iakovos on October 23, we give thanks to God for the faith- ful and steadfast members of Leadership 100 and celebrate the great achievements of the Leadership 100 Endowment Fund, which, over 28 years since its founding by Archbishop Iakovos of Blessed Memory, has continuously provided assistance to the ministries of our Church for the glory of God. Through the generosity of many and through the grants and philanthropic endeavors of the members of Leadership 100, we have experienced what the Apostle Paul prayed for the Hebrews, namely that they consider one another in order to stir up love and good works. Truly, Leadership 100 has held fast the confession of our hope without wavering, among others, in the precious gifts to men called to the Holy Priesthood through scholarships offered at our beloved Holy Cross School of Theology, by the assistance provided to active clergy in relieving the burden of student loans and to retired clergy and their pres- vyteres, encouraging them all. It has stirred up love and good works that have been given to our youth and young adults and families through ministries in the care centers of our Church and in our summer camps across the nation. Leadership 100 has also stirred up love and good works for more and more people through the preparation and publi- cation of quality resources that broaden the work of the parishes and ministries of our Archdiocese.

Karamitsos The year is passing so quickly. It’s hard to believe that we are already into Great Lent, and Pascha is just a few weeks away. I hope that this Lenten season is a positive one for you, as you partake in the cleansing of the fast – physically, mentally, and spiritually. This is a time to reawaken our spirit, retool, and sharpen our senses. Lent provides us an opportunity to reboot, to begin anew. It’s no coincidence that this happens in the springtime, as the Earth comes alive — trees and plants awaken from their long winter slumber, flowers bloom. As we follow Jesus to the Cross and prepare for his glorious Resurrection, I pray that you will experience your own rebirth, and begin anew – stronger, energized, and positive.
