y dear Cathedral Stewards, Friends and Philoptochos Sisters, I hope and pray that you and your families Mare well and safe. It is so hard to believe that we are at the beginning of October. When did that happen? Six months of COVID have passed so quickly and for many of us we have been living in a bubble, which I pray will soon burst so that we may be able to resume our normal lives. As the saying goes, “You don’t know what you got until it’s gone.” If these were normal times, I would be thanking all of you for making our Cathedral Festival Bake Sale the success it always is. Sadly, as you know, there was no Festival this year. We did not gather as a Community, working together for the good of our beloved Cathedral. I pray that next year we will all let us not love with words or speech our mission.

St. Cyril of Alexandria Upcoming News and Events at the Cathedral WELCOME TO ALL VISITORS: For those visiting an Orthodox Church for the first time, please be aware that Holy Com- munion is a sign of unity of faith which is only offered to Baptized or Chrismated Orthodox Christians. All present are welcome, however, to partake of the antidoron (blessed bread) which is distributed at the end of the service. Those interested in learning more about the Orthodox faith, please feel free to see Fr. Demetri after the service. MEMORIAL: Memorial service is offered today for the repose of the souls of John Koulmandas (6 months), Theodora Arvanites (9 years), James Arvanites (21 years), Anio Arvanites (31 years), and Christos Arvanites (59 years). May their memory be eternal! The flowers and the candles are offered in memory of Theodora, James, Anio and Christos Arvanites.

DEMETRI: This year we will start our in person/virtual meetings on Sunday, October 25 after the Divine Liturgy, where we will learn about our Greek Orthodox Christian faith. Together with Father Demetri we will explore and deepen the infinite aspects of our faith, including the history of the church, the Bible, the theolo- gy, and the practices of historic Christianity.

Orthros will start at 8:45 am and will be followed by the celebration of the Divine Liturgy at 10:00 am.
Νέα και επερχόμενες εκδηλώσεις του Καθεδρικού Ναού ΚΑΛΩΣΟΡΙΣΜΑ: Για όσους επισκέπτονται την Ορθόδοξη Εκκλησία για πρώτη φορά, θα πρέπει να γνωρίζουν ότι η Θεία Κοινωνία είναι το σύμβολο της ενότητας της πίστεως, το οποίο προσφέρεται μόνο σε όσους έχουν βαπτιστεί ή χριστεί Ορθόδοξοι Χριστιανοί. Όλοι οι παραβρισκόμενοι ωστόσο, είναι ευπρόσδεκτοι να λάβουν το Αντίδωρο (ή ευλογημένο ψωμί), το οποίο διανέμεται μετά το τέλος της Θείας Λειτουργίας. Όσοι ενδιαφέρεστε να μάθετε περισσότερα για την Ορθόδοξη Χριστιανική Πίστη, μη διστάσετε να μιλήσετε στον Πατέρα Δημήτριο μετά τη Θεία Λειτουργία. ΜΝΗΜΟΣΥΝΟ: Σήμερα, τελούμε επιμνημόσυνη δέηση υπέρ αναπαύσεως των ψυχών των κεκοιμημένων δούλων του Θεού Ιωάννου Κουλμανδά (6 μήνες), Θεοδώρας Αρβανίτη (9 έτη), Δημητρίου Αρβανίτη (21 έτη), Ανιώς Αρβανίτη (31 έτη) και Χρίστου Αρβανίτη (59 έτη). Αιωνία αυτών η μνήμη! Τα λουλούδια και τα κεριά προσφέρονται εις μνήμη των Θεοδώρας, Δημητρίου, Ανιώς και Χρίστου Αρβανίτη. ΝΕΑ ΤΟΥ ΚΑΤΗΧΗΤΙΚΟΥ: Το Κατηχητικό σχολείο θα ήθελε να ζητήσει την υποστήριξή σας στη περισυλλογή τροφίμων η οποία θα λήξει στις 22 Νοεμβρίου. Μπορείτε να φέρετε κονσέρβες, ζυμαρικά και γενικά τρόφιμα που δεν αλλοιώνονται. Ευελπιστούμε ότι φέτος όπως και τα προηγούμενα χρόνια θα συνεισφέρετε στον ιερό αυτό σκοπό! Σας ευχαριστούμε! ΟΡΘΟΔΟΞΕΣ ΣΠΟΥΔΕΣ: Την Κυριακή, 25 Οκτωβρίου αμέσως μετά τη Θεία Λειτουργία θα αρχίσουμε τις ηλεκτρονικές συναντήσεις μας με τον Πατέρα Δημήτριο όπου θα μαθαίνουμε για την Ελληνική Ορθόδοξη Χριστιανική πίστη. Μαζί του θα διερευνήσουμε και θα εμβαθύνουμε τις άπειρες πτυχές της πίστης μας και των πρακτικών του ιστορικού Χριστιανισμού συμπεριλαμβανομένης της ιστορίας της εκκλησίας, καθώς και την ανάλυση της Βίβλου και της Θεολογίας εν γένει. ΕΟΡΤΑΣΜΟΣ ΓΙΑ ΤΟΝ ΑΓΙΟ ΔΗΜΗΤΡΙΟ: Τη Δευτέρα, 26 Οκτωβρίου ο Καθεδρικός μας Ναός θα εορτάσει τον Πολιούχο Άγιο Δημήτριο. Ο Όρθρος θα αρχίσει στις 8:45 πμ και η Θεία Λειτουργία στις 10:00 μμ.
