PHAROS
Celebrating Our 13th Year of Publication!
JULY/AUGUST, 2005
Message from Father
Our Parish is in such a wonderful and
exciting time in its history, with progress
being made everyday and every time
people meet and work together for the
good of our Church. Our Festival this year
was a great success. Congratulations to
Chairman George Pappas, and Vice
Chairpeople Maria Nicolaides and John
Chrisomallis along with everyone who
worked to make it the great success that it
was.
Let us remember that our Church is our
faith in Jesus Christ and our Holy Greek
Orthodox Faith which unites us as a family and brings us together to pray and worship. Secondly, we are united as Greeks
and have a wonderful social support and
the greatest cultural things of life. When
we place God and our Church as our number one priority then miracles can and do
happen. I have personally seen miracles
happen in our community as I watch parishioners’ lives transformed by the
power of God. Many parishioners have
been healed by the grace of God and with
the help of his saints, especially through
the help of St. Nicholas. I have seen lives

of many emerge from chaos into order as
they place their faith in Jesus Christ as
their Lord and Savior. I have personally
been touched by God’s grace, love and
mercy in the last year, and I continue to
work in His service every day. It’s not
about winning or losing, but how we
handle what life gives us. God will always
be there for us.
I am thankful to God that He continues
to bless our Church and keep us united.
Many wonderful things have been happening as we plan for the future of our
Community. We must have long term
goals in order to ensure the future of our
Church and Community. I thank God for
the unified Parish Councils that have
served over the past years. It has been a
pleasure working with all the members of
the many committees as they have given
their time, talent and treasures in making
St. Nicholas more active and productive.
The project of the Plateia is an indication that we “are” working for the future
of our Church. A master plan is being devised for the rest of the properties that we
have acquired and what we need to do
about enlarging the present Church or
building a larger one. These all remain for
the immediate future and they need to be
discussed and implemented and I know
that God will guide us to make the best
decisions for our Parish.
Our Greek School continues to be one
of the best Greek language Schools in the
area. We take learning the Greek language seriously and any child, who truly
wants to learn, can learn. Our Sunday
School is constantly being updated and
new sources added to the curriculum.
Goya has continued to flourish and enrollment is constantly increasing. Volunteers are needed so we may have a JOY
program this Fall. Contact me if you are
willing to help in this area.
The St. Nicholas Diamonds continue to
thrive as they tend to the needs of our
senior parishioners. New members are
always welcome to participate in the
many varied activities and trips.
With all of God’s blessings for a
wonderful and pleasant summer,
I remain Your servant in the Lord,
Fr. Manuel

INDEPENDENCE DAY
The Fourth of July! What a glorious day! The birth of our nation...
the day our Founding Fathers gave
us this precious gift: the USA—a
representative democracy.
We celebrate the Fourth with

spectacular firework displays as
prescribed by our Founders in addition to family gatherings, picnics,
and beach outings. In so doing it is
appropriate to pause, reflect,
thank, and honor the memory of
the countless Americans who have
built our nation, the longest surviving democracy in history.
As our Founding Founders did, it
is appropriate that we thank God,
who gave them the wisdom and
stamina to forge our nation. It is
appropriate that we remember and
never forget that the very foundations of the United States of
America are based on God’s principles and His Grace and that He
has blessed us abundantly.
Despite our problems, America
is still the land to which thousands
flock, risking life and limb in hopes
of attaining a better life. The awesome responsibility of solving the
problems that our fledgling country
faces and perpetuating the valuable
gift that our Founding Fathers bestowed upon us rests with each of
us. Becoming active in our communities and reviving our faith in
God’s guidance will ensure that
America will endure and thrive for
many generations to come.
The Fourth of July is not merely
another “day off” holiday, but the
perfect day for committing ourselves to God and country; for it is
the ONE holiday, which all Americans have in common, the ONE day
which unites all of us.
Happy 229th Birthday America!

SUNDAY CHURCH SERVICE
When you or your children are
enrolling for various activities,
please remember to reserve Sunday mornings for attending church
services. This is the prescribed
time for us to worship God as a
Church Family for which we enrolled when we became Christians.
Sunday morning worship supersedes sporting events, children’s
organized team activities, shopping
trips, etc.
