Dear Parishioners, friends of our Community, pupils of all ages and parents of our School.

We are together again for our regular communication with a small reminder.

The Feast of St Demetrios (26/10), Patron of the Ladies Charity of our Community is fast approaching and the preparations to honour his memory are underway.

Together, the celebration of the National Day of OXI and the Feast of Ayia Skepi (28/10) will take place.

To mark the occasion, a celebratory weekend is organised commencing with Vespers on Saturday 25th at 6pm and continuing on Sunday 26th of October. Matins will start at 9.30am followed by H. Liturgy, Artoklasia and Doxology for the Commemoration.

Then, together with our Priest, all the pupils, parents and teachers we will gather at our Church Hall to enjoy the festivities and as it is customary, the School will play a big part. Celebrations of this kind are part and parcel of our traditions, even our ancient ancestors used to say " An uncelebrated life is like a long road without an inn on sight ". We, although far away from our homelands, as custodians of our inheritance, we try to keep the heritage alive and we never stop honoring our Saints.

As it is known our Community was founded in December 1989, our School and the Ladies Charity, St. Demetrios, were established within the months of 1990. So a double Thirtyfifth Birthday in our midst!

Paying tribute to this Landmark, the Festivities will culminate with the establishment of the Annual Event : "TA DEMETRIANA", which will be taking place on the nearest Weekend. to 26 - 28 of October, when the Church Services are taking place in our Community.

With best wishes

The Priest in Charge, Oikonomos Gregorios Wellington
