General Assembly – Sunday, May 18, 2025

Dear Parishioners,

As previously announced, our General Assembly was scheduled for May 4, 2025. However, due to the lack of a quorum, and in accordance with our by-laws, a new meeting must be held within two weeks.

We invite all parishioners to attend the rescheduled General Assembly meeting on Sunday, May 18th, 2025, immediately following the Divine Liturgy.

The minutes from the last General Assembly (held on November 10, 2024) were emailed and will be available for review at the meeting.

Your presence and participation are vital to the life and future of our parish.

Thank you!
