Memorial and Trisagion Services

Memorial: Today’s 9-month memorial is held for Zoe Stamatiadis. She is the wife of Kosta, the mother of Soula, and grandmother of Elias & Zoe. We will also remember Emmanuel Stamatiadis the father of Kelly & Maria Papakosta. It has been 15 years since his falling asleep. Lastly, we will commemorate Ioanna Garcia Nikolopulu who fell asleep in the Lord 6 years ago. Ioanna is the beloved mother of Frank Garcia. Our love and prayers go out to them and their families. May their memories be eternal!
