Saint Anthony, the Father
of monks, was born in
Egypt in 251 of pious parents who departed this life
while he was yet young.
On hearing the words of
the Gospel: "If thou wilt
be perfect, go and sell
what thou
hast, and give
to the
poor" (Matt.
19:21), he
immediately
put it into action. Distributing to the
poor all he
had, and fleeing from all
the turmoil of
the world, he
departed to
the desert. The manifold
temptations he endured
continually for the span of
twenty years are incredible. His ascetic struggles
by day and by night,
whereby he mortified the
uprisings of the passions
and attained to the height
of dispassion, surpass the
bounds of nature; and the
report of his deeds of virtue drew such a multitude
to follow him that the desert was transformed into
a city, while he became,
so to speak, the governor,
lawgiver, and mastertrainer of all the citizens
of this newly-formed city.
The cities of the world
also enjoyed the fruit of
his virtue. When the
Christians were being persecuted and put to death
under Maximinus in 312,
he hastened to their aid
and consolation. When the
Church was troubled by
the Arians, he
went with zeal
to Alexandria
in 335 and
struggled
against them
in behalf of
Orthodoxy.
During this
time, by the
grace of his
words, he also
turned many
unbelievers to
Christ.
Saint Anthony began his
ascetic life outside his
village of Coma in Upper
Egypt, studying the ways
of the ascetics and holy
men there, and perfecting
himself in the virtues of
each until he surpassed
them all. Desiring to increase his labors, he departed into the desert, and
finding an abandoned fortress in the mountain, he
made his dwelling in it,
training himself in extreme fasting, unceasing
prayer, and fierce conflicts with the demons.
Here he remained, as
mentioned above, about
twenty years. Saint Atha-
nasius the Great, who
knew him personally and
wrote his life, says that he
came forth from that fortress "initiated in the mysteries and filled with the
Spirit of God." Afterwards, because of the
press of the faithful, who
deprived him of his solitude, he was enlightened
by God to journey with
certain Bedouins, until he
came to a mountain in the
desert near the Red Sea,
where he passed the remaining part of his life.
Saint Athanasius says of
him that "his countenance
had a great and wonderful
grace. This gift also he
had from the Saviour. For
if he were present in a
great company of monks,
and any one who did not
know him previously
wished to see him, immediately coming forward he
passed by the rest, and
hurried to Anthony, as
though attracted by his
appearance. Yet neither in
height nor breadth was he
conspicuous above others,
but in the serenity of his
manner and the purity of
his soul." So Passing his
life, and becoming an example of virtue and a rule
for monastics, he reposed
on January 17 in the year
356, having lived altogether some 105 years.

Since my past message not much has happen. We have
started renovations on Father Lou’s office and we have
cleaned up the back of the church by fencing in the garbage
area. We do hope to do more but it will be a slow process.
You will see more during the year.
Christmas Eve service was beautiful, the church was filled
and our choir sounded wonderful singing all of our traditional Christmas Carols. I also would like to once again
thank everyone for supporting the star program as the tree
had so many gifts under it, we should all feel wonderful
knowing that we helped make these families happy on
Christmas.
Thank you to Flo and John Ioannou for organizing the Midnight Run once again. On December 30th in the bitter cold

the GOYAns and I can tell you going on this Run puts life
into perspective. When we are cold at home we turn up the

Kala Christougenna kai Eftihes Ton Neon Etos!! It is hard to believe that we are
here once again, at the end of the old
year and the new year just around the
corner. This past year has been a busy
and fulfilling one in the choir world, and
the new year looks to be following the
same path. There were many
exciting musical events in
2014, and there are many
more planned for 2015.
One such event was the
concert, "In Praise of St,
Nicholas", sponsored by the
Axion Estin Foundation in
conjunction with the Metropolitan Museum of Art, presented on Saturday, December
6th at The Cloisters Museum.
A Byzantine and Latin Chant
Concert, where east met west,
"the world renowned ENSEMBLE ORGANUM directed by Marcel Peres met
virtuoso chanter Christos Chalkias of
Thessaloniki in a rare juxtaposition of
Greek Byzantine and Latin chant". The
silence of the audience in the chapel
where it was held attested to the acoustical beauty of the chanting. One example
of the juxtaposition was when the chant
alternated between east and west:

for the third year in a row. Talented Ariana competed at Syracuse's Civic Morning
Musicals and won The Opera Club of
Syracuse Award. Ariana was also cast as
the understudy of the role of Elena in
Opera Ithaca's spring production of "Il
Sogno". Next, President Anna presented
very surprised choir member
Georgia Stavros with an
award recognizing Georgia
for her 60+ years as a choir
member. The talented Georgia has worn many hats as a
choir member: an ability to
sing in any voice needed, as
an organist, and as a Federation board member, all the
while ready and willing to
help whenever and wherever
needed. In Fr. Lou's words,
examples of gifts that are
shared with others for the
Glory of God!

Of course we can't forget the children
of St. Paraskevi who put on their annual
Christmas Pageant. It's always a wonder
to hear their angelic voices, both musical
and spoken, and hopefully our future
choir members. It was also wonderful to
see that they were accompanied on the
keyboard by one of their peers. Perhaps a
future organist too??
Sunday, December 21st, the Annual
Choir Christmas party took place. Hosted
by choir member Elaine Champey, it was
a time of good fun, good food, good conversation, and, of course, good music.
Everyone enjoyed singing Christmas carols/songs, accompanied on the piano by
Elaine herself. We were also treated to a
few solos by Elaine's brother, choir member George Strum, who has a talented
voice, and by Elaine, too, with her lovely soprano voice. Everyone left happily
looking forward to next year's gathering
from now!!

for their continued help and support. We,
along with National Forum Chairman
Maria Keritsis and DAD President Anna
Dounelis, wish you all a Blessed Christmas, and a Happy, Healthy and Peaceful
New Year. Stay well and see you on Sunday!!
HAPPY NEW YEAR! The sun is shining, the snow is glistening and the new year is upon us! We are celebrating the
baptism of our Lord Jesus Christ and our children are learning how the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit were all together in one place, at one time.
Our Christmas Pageant was a beautiful success and showed us so wonderfully the glory of our Lord God and Savior's
birth. The children were such a joy to work with! We hope you enjoyed it. Thank you to the following individuals for
all of their help and support with the pageant:

see what they have written.
Our preparations for the St. John Chrysostom Oratorical Festival are underway and going well. The topics have been
introduced to the students and teachers. We hope your child(ren) have chosen their topics and have begun working on
their essay/speech/poem. The form is to be given to your child's teacher or Kathy Demacopoulos. Once their paperwork is received, they will be assigned a mentor to guide them in the process and answer any questions. If you have any
questions, or need a copy of the topics and/or registration form, please let us know.

The Ladies Philoptochos Christmas party was held at
Cinque Terra on December 11, 2014. It has been our tradition to adopt a local charity. This year we chose the Huntington Helping Hand Mission.
The Mission is not funded by any government agency and
relies solely on monetary donations to accomplish special
programs for the many needy children in the town of Huntington. Our Philoptochos's mission was to purchase pajamas and socks for 52 children whose names and sizes were
given to us by the directors. Due to the generosity of our
Philoptochos's Sisters we were also able to present the
Mission with a monetary donation as well which is greatly
needed and will be greatly appreciated.
Happy New Year to all! We are blessed to be able to visit
the numerous facilities local to St. Paraskevi during the
Christmas season. Father Lou administered communion
and prayed with the Orthodox residents. Our care ministry
volunteers brought cheer to the residents by spending some
time with them, which is the greatest gift of all. The Arettines family entertained the residents and families with
their wonderful Christmas show.
This month we will be going to the facilities blessing the
rooms.
We always look forward to having more volunteers to be a
part of this rewarding ministry. A few minutes spent with
our spiritual brothers and sisters, is a wonderful gift to give
ourselves.
We enjoyed the camaraderie of Father Lou and Presbytera
Tammy, the beautiful Christmas ambience, the delicious
foods, the excellent service, and Santa's surprise visit. The Have a blessed and healthy new year!

‘Gorgeous George: The Proud Rooster’ learns humility
Agathi Sibos Mitsinikos’ illustrated story book teaches children about being humble.
COMMACK, N.Y. – Folktale has always been author Agathi Sibos Mitsinikos’s favorite genre. In “Gorgeous George:
The Proud Rooster” (published by Xlibris), she presents such a tale to tell an interesting story while also teaching
children a lesson.
Gorgeous George is as proud as a rooster can be. He really likes to show off his long colorful feathers. But looking
good is not all there is to being good and, in the end, George realizes the value of being humble with him saying, “It
all happened because I was too proud of myself. Next time, I will never leave the house again and go on a hill to
show off my beautiful feathers. I learned my lesson the hard way.”
Humility is one of the primary virtues. In “Gorgeous George: The Proud Rooster,” Mitsinikos is able to present it in
an easy to read and relatable story that is meant to help children realize the value of this virtue.
The sound that George the rooster makes is not typically associated with a rooster as children know it from other
stories like, cock a doodle doo. This rooster makes a more realistic, unique sound. This book not only can be read
by families for pleasure, but it can also be utilized by teachers within a classroom setting to teach skills such as story elements, sequencing, summarizing, and use of dialogue.
