.―And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and
some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers.‖
Ephesians 4:11
T he ministry of the Clergy is indeed important in
the Orthodox Church, but where would the
Church be today without her important ministry
of the laity? I would like to write about two important
ministries that were recognized by our church last
month.
The first is the Orthodox Christian Fellowship.
What's happening today with Orthodox ministry is
very exciting and optimistic. It reminds me of the New
Frontier that we heard about shortly after the discovery
of the "New World" by Christopher Columbus. When I
was in elementary school, I remember learning a song
that started with the words, "In 1492, Columbus sailed
the ocean blue." I remember celebrating Columbus as
the visionary explorer who proved the world was
round, when everyone else thought it was flat. I
remember Columbus's courage being cited, as he kept
on sailing westward, even though his panicked crew
was convinced they would sail off the edge of the
earth, or that a sea monster would swallow their ship. I
remember a school book picture showing Columbus
planting a cross on the beach and claiming it for
Ferdinand and Isabella.
Columbus, the "Admirable Admiral," was one of my
childhood heroes. He is a hero to most Americans. I
mention Columbus, because I feel what we are doing
here today is of a similar character: Orthodox
Christians united together to preach and spread
Orthodoxy to a ―new world.‖ It may not be the world
of Columbus, but it is a new world from the
motherlands from which Orthodoxy originated. Like
Columbus, our ancestors were pioneers who had
discovered a new land and rediscovered in this new
land their original homeland in God. And now it's up
to us to take the torch and pass it on to our youth.
In doing so, there are many challenges we face in
today's world, not only trying to preach Orthodoxy in a
mostly secular society, but also to keep our youth
connected to their faith. We must learn ways to spread
our faith in this new land and acclimate our youth to
American society, without them losing their faith.
These are the challenges we all face as clergy, teachers,
and parents.
In my eyes, the OCF is groundbreaking for this
reason. It is not only an organization that reaches out
to our college students, it uniquely has students reach
out to other students, which is what makes it such a
successful ministry, keeping our orthodox youth
connected to their faith at a time when they are
developing their own social identities.
The second ministry I would like to acknowledge,
since October was National Church Music Month, is
the Church choir. The sacred hymnology of the Church
is an extremely important element of Church services
and Church life because it is what brings us closer to
God. As St. Gregory of Palamas states, ―Whoever
attunes himself and studies the meaning of sacred
songs from the beginning to end will find himself
approaching God.‖ All the teaching and theology of
the Church is incorporated in the sacred hymns, which
are so beautifully communicated to us through our
Choir and Chanters. Just as an authentic icon makes
visible for us, the invisible Kingdom of God, so too,
authentic Church music makes audible for us the
inaudible song of the angels around the throne of God.
Orthodox Church music raises the eyes of our hearts to
see the True Light and lifts up our hearts to receive the
Heavenly Spirit as we worship the undivided Trinity in
the Kingdom, which is not of this world.
Sometimes, we take for granted the work that goes
into preparing a choir and leading the church in
worship. The leadership of the choir and the choir
itself must learn these artistic expressions in the ways
they have been traditionally done, while also adapting
to our own church and liturgy. I would like to
personally thank our choir and chanters and would ask
that each of you thank them personally for sharing their
time and talents. If it wasn’t for them, we would not be
able to enjoy this beautiful and sacred tradition of the
Church.
I want to remind all of you that the Church is not just
bricks and metal, but it is each and every one of you
who come together to contribute their time and talents!
If it were not for our volunteers in the choir, our
chanters or youth workers, we would not be able to
exist as a church. I am truly indebted to all of you for
your continued service in Christ!

“Somewhere, someone else is happy with less than you have.”
W ith the celebration of the 100 year gala we had
last year, we know the importance of reaching
that feat. More importantly, we know how
difficult it is to reach that milestone. This past Sunday,
we had the opportunity to celebrate a very special birth-
day. We were honored to celebrate with Mr. Markos his
100th birthday. What a pleasure it is to see this man walk
into the church! Yes, it is an honor to be in his presence
when he chooses to be around us! Mr. Markos, what can
I say, may you ―two hundred them!‖
Also, I would like to thank Mr. Lee Tsouris for getting
us the furniture from the company he works for. We have
three beautiful desks in our office, another in the Sunday
school office, some book shelves, and some really com-
fortable chairs.
It was a great time going to Holiday Hill on September
20th and participating in the GOYA retreat. A handful of
cars went, and there were many activities and plenty of
food. We all had a great time. On September 28th, we
celebrated GOYA Day. Our GOYA held their annual
―picnic‖ for the parish, but beforehand, some of the
GOYAns shadowed Parish Council members during ser-
vices. It was a pleasure to have them work with us. On
November 22nd, our GOYAns will have their annual tag
sale in the Aegean Hall. Let’s all make an effort to sup-
port them. Let’s not forget that they are the future of our
Parish!
On October 5th, a number of Choir members who have
served for 20 years (or more) were honored with certifi-
cates on National Church Musicians’ Sunday. They also
held their 3rd Annual Choir Social and Silent Auction for
the parish, which is a fundraiser held to generate funds
which will be used to have an Icon of Saint Romanos the
Hymnographer painted in the Choir loft.
Also, on October 13th, Holy Trinity, together with the
Daughters of Penelope and AHEPA, and partnered with
the Council of Churches, ventured out to Trumbull Gar-
dens again and presented ways to prepare meals for under
5 dollars to the residents. Thank you Kathy and John for
taking charge with this project. This is true philoptochos,
getting out into the community and helping hungry fami-
lies and the less fortunate. Thank you to Philoptochos for
their generous donation. We were able to purchase four
different cooking devices that are being used as raffle
prizes.
On Dec.14th, we are having our Christmas luncheon.
Please keep the date open and celebrate with us. Also,
registrations for basketball and volleyball have begun,
and the games start soon.
Wishing everyone a wonderful Thanksgiving

“Some people grumble that roses have thorns. I am grateful that thorns have roses.”
W ith the weather becoming
chillier, PTO is gearing up
for the fall and winter festivities.
The ―S’mores Under the Stars‖ was
a fun evening of pizza and s’mores.
We had a great turnout, and while
there were some sticky hands, we
all had a fun night of toasting
marshmallows under the bright
moonlight and meeting new
members and their families.
Welcome aboard, and we look
forward to spending happy times
with you and the kiddos as well.
Looking forward, we will be
starting our Holiday Raffle on Nov
2nd. If you are interested in
donating towards this, please
contact Christina Tsocanos or Helen
Vlamis. We will be using the
kitchen to bake the tsourekia on the
Nov 10th and 11th. If you would
like to help in the kitchen during the
day, wrapping during Greek School,
or selling in the month of
December , please let me know.
We could use as many hands as
possible.
We will also have the ―Make a
Wish Project.‖ All gift donations
will go to the children at St. Basil's
Academy, and we will be visiting
them as well. More info will be out
soon. Just as last year, I will gather
a wish list from the children at St
Basil's. Last year a nice group of us
attended and had a great time. Our
own Sami Bal participated in
retrieving the cross in the pool, and
we enjoyed the tour of the grounds
that was given to the group as well.
There will be a decorated Christmas
tree with angel ornaments outside
of the Aegean Hall. Each angel will
have wish list items for each child.
It is a great opportunity to visit the
Academy, and most of all, make a
child very happy during the holiday.
The annual Santa’s Workshop
will take place on Saturday ,
December 13th, from 10am to 1pm.
We will have the youth groups
separated by age again. RSVP to
Maria Gountas so that we can have

ΕΛΛΗΝΙΚΟ ΣΧΟΛΕΙΟ
by Eleni Limberis , Director
O ur Sunday school had its
first didactic service on Oc-
tober 12th. Many thanks to
Father Andreas, who conducted the
Liturgy in the Aegean Hall for the
children, and to Father Serge, who
conducted the service upstairs. The
children enjoyed the educational and
spiritual experience.
Thank you to all the parents and
teachers who attended our Parent-
Teacher Meeting. For anyone who
did not make it to the meeting,
please feel free to contact me directly
for an updated calendar, or to ask
any questions that you may have.
It is very important for our children to attend Sunday
School regularly. In other religions, children have man-
dated requirements in order to receive a sacrament and
often must pay extra for special classes. We are so
blessed to have a religious studies program available in
our community on a weekly basis at no cost to the par-
ticipants. Our children will benefit spiritually and mor-
ally.
Please try to have your children ar-
rive in Church on time, which is by
10:15am. Our teachers start their
lessons on time and must start over
when children arrive late.
Mrs. Joanne Bogardus is gra-
ciously directing the children to learn
the hymns of the Divine liturgy.
There is a Halloween Party sched-
uled for October 31st, and will defi-
nitely will be a TREAT!
Please continue to support our PTO ,
as they generously fund our Sunday
school with books and supplies. This is our only source
of income to Sunday school. I also thank PTO for the
ice cream social that they held for the kids while the
parents met. They all had fun.
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel
free to contact me.

“What if today we were just grateful for everything?”
O u r
chapter has
kicked off
the year with
a burst of
activity!
Our October meeting was our
annual Think Pink—Think Purple
meeting where we discussed and
raised awareness for Breast Cancer
and Domestic Violence Month.
We also discussed anti-bullying. A
raffle was held for Swim Across
the Sound and materials were
distributed including pink, purple,
and blue pins , demonstrating
awareness for the three issues. Our
district governor was also in
attendance. The chapter grew by
initiating a new member as well.
We were pleased to initiate the
Bridgeport chapter of the Maids of
Athena this past month! We are
very excited about having this
wonderful group here with us, and
we look forward to working
t o g e t h e r w i t h t h e m !
Congratulations, and we wish you
much success!
The DOP participated in the
October food event held at
Trumbull Gardens and will be
participating again this month at an
educational workshop about food.
Our Let’s Keep Them Warm
Drive is underway! We will be
collecting new gloves, hats,
scarves, warm socks, and small
blankets for the needy in the Great
Bridgeport community. (All new
items. Please, no coats or clothes.)
The items are distributed to local
schools, shelters, crisis centers, and
hospitals. This project is one of
our favorite projects and a true
labor of love. Please see the flyer in
the Vision for all dropbox
locations. Thank you to all those
who continue to have a collection
box at their places of business. If
you would like to help, and can
have a collection box, please
contact us and we will provide one
for you.
Tickets are on sale for our
Turkey Raffle in support of our
scholarship program. Tickets are

raffled off on November 23rd.

annual Christmas Wreath Sale! The

decorated and distributed on
December 6th and 7th. Please
consider buying a beautiful wreath
decorated by members of our
community! We will also be
selling Christmas planters and
baskets again this year! Look out
for our flyers!

Time goes so fast! November is here, and that means
we have to prepare for our bake sale for Thanksgiving !
Get ready - preparation begins from October 22nd for the

From October, we started collecting food and

It is another hard year for many people, and that's the
work of a philanthropic organization like Philoptochos.
We help the Council of Churches, the Rescue Mission,
the Evergreen Network, the Food Bank, the Merton
House, and families of our own community. We need
your help, your donations, and everything else you can
offer. Thank you all.

T he choir would like to thank all of
the wonderful organizations and
individuals who so generously
contributed and supported our 3rd Annual
Coffee Hour Social and Silent Auction
fundraiser on Choir Sunday, October 5th,
2014. We raised $1,500, with the pro-
ceeds going toward our beautification pro-
ject. It may take a few more years to
reach our goal, however, we are in the
process of obtaining an estimate for an icon of St. Roma-
nos the Hymnographer to be painted on the empty rear
wall of the choir loft. Updates will be noted in future
Vision Choir Columns.
For all the beautiful and exciting baskets
which were so graciously donated, we ex-
tend a sincere thank you to: AHEPA, Holy
Trinity Seniors, Hellenic Cultural Associa-
tion, Daughters of Penelope, PTO, Gus and
Nick Vlamis, Ted Pappas, Cindi X. Keane,
the Tallcouch Family, the Capiris, Demes-
tihas and Hatzis Families, and the Vaniotis
Family. We are also indebted to the fol-
lowing individuals for their generous con-
tributions: Evangelia Exis, Van Hatzis,
Helen Spyrou, Pipitsa Stevens, Angie Tha-
tos, and Kay Zorzy. Lastly, a heartfelt
thank you to Helen Yeotsas, Maria Pat-
siarikas, and Katherine Yiannoulis for their
help in setting up and making all the musi-
cal decorations.
Once again, we extend our appreciation to everyone
who helped to make our special day a success!

O ur Parish has been most busy since
we started the new Ecclesiastical
Year in September. It indeed was a
beautiful day on September 14th , as we
celebrated the Feast Day of the Elevation
of the Cross. Seaside Park turned out to be
a glorious day as the waters were blessed
by Father Andreas. Again, Chronia Polla
to all those who celebrated their Namedays
on that day. Kai Tou Xponou.
"Choir Day" was recently celebrated, with
Certificates of Appreciation being distributed to the dedi-
cated Choir Members for their years of Service, followed
by the Choir Coffee Social and Chinese Auction. It was
beautifully done and was a great tribute to our wonderful
Choir who help to make our Sundays so meaningful.
Special thanks to all those who contributed to our an-
nual Wine Tasting, especially to the Philoptochos, who
were the generous sponsors. Our gratitude is extended to
the bakers, to the set up, the raffle prizes, and those who
contributed in any way. Of course, we thank our chair-
persons, Kalliope Tsitsipas and Sylvia Bal.
Once again, we thank the PTO for catering to our chil-
dren - pumpkin picking, S’mores Night, ice cream social
while parents attended a Sunday School meeting, and
their annual Fall Harvest Lunch to raise the funds to be
able to support these activities.
Our Sunday School program is off to a good start ,
with a meeting held for the parents with Father and Tom
Hallas, the Director.
It indeed was so nice to see our GOYAns follow in the
footsteps of the Parish Council members on a recent Sun-
day. They helped to fulfill the duties of the Parish Coun-
cil members, as they respectfully were learning what
those obligations were. We wish all of them much good
luck in their future endeavors and hope someday, as
adults, they will take over the Parish Council responsibil-
ities. They will have their annual Tag Sale and Flea Mar-
ket on November 22nd.
Philoptochos will hold their annual Pot Luck Supper
meeting in November. They will also begin their Novem-
ber Thanksgiving Bake Sale. In November and Decem-
ber, they will be making their food baskets for the less
fortunate.
What an accomplishment -100 years old - John Markos
celebrated his birthday surrounded by family and friends
on October 12th . We were happy to celebrate with him as
his family hosted a lovely brunch in his honor. Should
we say, with the loving care of his beloved
wife Emorphia, "Many More Happy Birth-
days" to John Markos with good health.
Congratulations to Aspasia Trigonis on at-
taining her U. S. Citizenship. She did an
outstanding job answering all the necessary
questions. We welcome her officially to the
United States. Good luck and good health.
Cristina and Michael Hasiotis have started
their own photography business "Mixali
Media," whereby they are dedicated to
providing their clients "beautiful memories," whatever
the occasion happens to be. They can be contacted at 203
-209-7845 or 203 257-9271. We wish them every suc-
cess.
Congratulations to the Daughters who, at their last
meeting, initiated a new Maids of Athena Chapter for our
young girls. Good luck in this new endeavor. The Daugh-
ters are also sponsoring a hat and glove drive for all ages
through January. Wanted are new gloves, mittens,
scarves, hats, small blankets and warms socks (no coats).
Please place in collection box at the back of the Church.
Quite a few Wedding Anniversaries were celebrated in
October. We wish the following couples many more
years of good luck and good heal th:
Kathy and Pat Santella — 28 years; Theodora and Nick
Fatibene - 29 years; Alexis and George Koulouris - 43
years; Stella and George Capiris - 57 years.

The Community extends its deepest sympathy to
Pavlo and Antigone Bozikis on the death of Antigone's
mother in Greece, where the funeral was held. The Com-
munity extends its deepest sympathy to the family of
Demetra Bothos upon her recent death. She struggled
valiantly for five years with cancer. Her loving daughters,
Katherine and Alexandra, were always with her. She was
an educated individual with many talents, and she will
be missed by many. We also extend our deepest sympa-
thy to the family of Gregory Yiotos. Also, our deepest
sympathy to Eleni Demestihas on the death of her sister
in Greece and to Jim Trigonis on the death of his sister in
Greece. May all their Memories be Forever Eternal!
