 The PHILOPTOCHOS or "friends of the poor" is an organization of
women of the parish, primarily dedicated to service to the poor, and to the enrichment of
parish life. Aside from benevolence on an individual basis, this group maintains an
ongoing program of philanthropic projects which support the
Ecumenical Patriarchate.
In addition, they maintain a program of visitation and gift-giving to parish elders who
are nursing home patients, and of other programs too numerous to mention here.
The society generously supports parish capital
projects and provides numerous fellowship opportunities through social events.
