Thank You!

Beloved brothers and sisters in Christ,

Christ is risen!

“In all things showing yourself to be a pattern of good works;” Titus 2:7

On behalf of Father Christos, the Parish Council, the OPA festival co-chairpersons and various chairs of each area, we would like to thank you for your generous support of time, talent and treasure in order to make this year’s OPA Greek food festival our largest and greatest yet!

Not only were we able to surpass previous year’s total sales, but also we received overwhelming positive complements about the quality of food and the friendly Greek hospitality. 

This year we were able to expand the Greek cuisine concept by taking advantage of our new parking lot. From the new OPA Food Festival Journal we provided and the lovely table arrangements to the expanded food offerings, kid games and activities and items for sale.  Each year we look forward to making improvements to make our OPA food festival the best it can be!  Your time, talent and treasure of thousands of hard worked hours, thousands of dollars of generous donations and plenty of great ideas made it all possible.

Our community came together as a family and did what was needed to provide a pleasant and fun environment. Most importantly, we were able to do good works for the glory of God and in a loving way.

A special thank you to all the youth, those who worked, and those who danced throughout the event. Thank you for your support and God bless you.

Christos Christofidis, Proistamenos

Mary Bavas, Peter Gouris, and Paul Fisfis, OPA Food Festival Committee

Yours in the risen Christ,
