Dear Parents and Friends,

We would like to invite you to the School Christmas celebration this Sunday 16/12, at 1.30 pm

The celebration will include songs and poems. At the end of the celebrations  ‘Santa ‘ will give to all the kids of the Greek community a small gift.

The cost is 2 euro per child.

Please let me know if your child will attend to avoid any dissapointment.

Dear Friends

We would like to invite you at our Church’s Christmas Bazaar that will take place on next Sunday 9th December after the Divine Liturgy around 12.30. We would be grateful if you could participate and also donate Christmas treats and cakes.

We would also like to invite you to register as a member of our parish in order to participate at the elections that will take place on the last Sunday of June 2013. The closing date for members’ registration, according to the Church constitution, is six months before the elections, so it is the end of December 2013.

You may find an electronic copy of the Church Constitution in the attached file. Forms for registration are provided by members of our Parish Council.

Finally, we send you the announcement of our Parish priest Fr Tom Carroll, of commencement of our Sunday Catechism school.

With kind regards

The President
Prof. Emeritus Frixos Joannides
