Stewardship:

Ζητούμε από όλους να συνδράμετε στην ενίσχυση της Κοινότητος, ιδίως τώρα που τελείωσε η αγιογράφιση του ναού, και ολοκληρώνεται η ανέγερση του Κοινοτικού Κέντρου “Κωνσταντίνος και Κυριακή Κασσιμάτη”. Η ετήσια συνδρομή είναι ευκαιρία να είμαστε όλοι ενωμένοι συμπαραστάτες στο τεράστιο έργο της ενορίας και στην διατήρηση και επέκταση των προγραμμάτων της.
