Our 2009 News Calendar:
November fundraisers: Shop For A Cause and Holiday Festival of Tables raised $5000 for the good of the church.
December's Annual Christmas Party was delightful. We also visited parishioners unable to get out. All of the names were taken off the Giving Tree and gifts were greatly appreciated by those less fortunate in the community.
St. Panteleimon, Patron Saint of St. Haralambos' Ladies Philoptochos Society.
Information: The Ladies’ Philoptochos is known as a “friend of the poor.” It is their focus to voluntarily aid the poor, the destitute, the hungry, the aged, the sick, the unemployed, the orphaned, the widowed and to offer assistance to anyone who may need the help of the Church through special funds. They also contribute on a national and diocesan level, which helps people throughout the country and the world. Funds are raised through membership dues and various fundraisers throughout the year. We are proud of their role, that of being the right arm and the charitable arm of our church. The Ladies meet the first Monday of each month at the church.
