PHILOPTOCHOS NATIONAL AGAPE AWARD
Recently, our Philoptochos members received some terrific news: the chapter will receive the national Philoptochos AGAPE Award at the 2024 Biennial Convention. The awards committee cited the “passion” with which our chapter engages the mission of Philoptochos and how members “are living and breathing examples of [the] convention’s theme: ‘Inspiring Women, Impacting the World.’” Our parish could not agree more, and we congratulate all the members of our Saint Anastasia Philoptochos!
