―Today the Cross of the Lord is carried forth, and the faithful

fervently greet it, receiving

healing of soul and body, and of

every infirmity. Let us embrace it with joy and fear: in fear of our

sins, for we are unworthy; but in

joy for the salvation which He who was crucified on it gives the

world, in His great mercy, Christ

the Lord‖ ~ Doxastikon Elevation

of the Holy Cross: sixth tone

W e begin the Church

calendar with the commemoration of the

Feast of the Universal Exaltation

of the Precious and Life-Giving Cross on September 14. This

Feast commemorates the finding

of the Holy Cross of our Lord by Saint Helen, when she visited Jerusalem in the year 326 to venerate holy

places related to the life, ministry, Crucifixion and

Resurrection of Christ. Confirmed as the Precious

Cross by the healing of a dying woman who touched it, the Cross was venerated by Saint Helen and by all

present, proclaiming ―Lord have mercy,‖ as the

Patriarch Makarios lifted it up for all to see (Encyclical

of Archbishop Demetrios).

Even though historically the Cross was an

instrument of indignity and torture, it has been

transformed into a symbol of God’s love for humanity. As Archbishop Demetrios states in his Encyclical for

the Feast, ―We lift up the Cross, because while it was

used as an instrument of torture and indignity, it brought honor and glory to God. It was used as a

means of ending life, but it became an entrance to

eternity. It was used as a violent weapon, but for believers it became a symbol of hope and victory.

Instead of death, our Lord through the Cross brought

us life and abundance of life.‖ Thusly, the Cross has

been a symbol of hope throughout the ages, for all Christians suffering persecution and enduring sacrifice

for their faith. In the Gospel, our Lord admonishes us

that ―whoever wants to be my disciple must deny himself and pick up his Cross and follow me

(Matthew 16:24). ― The Cross is symbolic of our Lord’s

suffering and the sacrifice of

His life for all of us.

In recent times, the Cross reminds us of the tremendous

sacrifice of those who lost

their lives during the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001.

Those who lost their lives

during the terrorist attacks made a tremendous sacrifice

for the freedom that we are all

able to enjoy living in this

great country. Our Lord says, ―Greater love has no one then

this; to lay down one’s life for

one’s friends.‖ (John 15:13) The privileges we enjoy have

come with a cost, which have

been paid for by those who sacrificed their lives on September 11 and all those in our military who

continue to sacrifice their lives to protect our freedoms.

We also celebrate the Feast of the Cross by

remembering September 11 and by giving thanks to those who sacrificed their lives and to their families.

As Archbishop Demetrios states, ―On this feast, the

elevation of the Cross is a beautiful and mighty witness of the Gospel of truth and love. This feast is also a call

to each of us to look to the Cross and to turn the eyes

of our soul towards the Cross and to lift it up for others

to see. We lift up the Cross when our homes and families become a dwelling of Christ. We lift up the

Cross for all to see the power of faith and grace when

we live in a way of the Cross, that is when we sacrifice for the will of God and the needs of others, when we

live in love and humility, and our lives constantly show

the way to Christ.‖

I say this to you, brethren, with the Church of St.

Nicholas in mind, which was right across the street

from Ground Zero and destroyed on that day. No one

was inside the church when it collapsed; nonetheless, a community suffered a deep wound on that day losing

its place of worship. By the grace of God, the Church

(Continued on page 4)

We Lift Up The Cross

by Father Andreas Vithoulkas

“Fear and faith have something in common. Both ask us to believe something that we cannot see.”

of St. Nicholas at Ground Zero will be resurrected, and the groundbreaking will take place on Saturday,

October 18. God willing, we will be able to participate

with Archbishop Demetrios in this momentous event of

the rebuilding of St. Nicholas as a commemorative shrine to those who lost their lives but also as a place of

worship and prayer for future generations.

In light of the events of September 11 and the

destruction and rebuilding of St. Nicholas church, as we

begin the new Ecclesiastical year, we should keep our church and community in our prayers and strengthen

our bond and commitment to her more than ever. We

should feel extremely blessed that we have such a thriving community and beautiful church building in

which to worship

September is the month for spiritual rejuvenation and renewal for all Orthodox Christians, getting our souls fit

once again for the upcoming Ecclesiastical New Year.

After a full summer of vacations, traveling, picnicking and spending time with family, it's time to get back into

the routine of work, school and, of course, church. We

are ready to become more serious and committed to our "worldly" lives, but also to our spiritual and church

lives.

A s the year is moving to

full swing, both Sun-day school and Greek

school are on their way. On Mon-

day, September 8th, in cooperation with the Council of Churches a

coordinated event was held at

Trumbull Gardens. With the help

of the Daughters of Penelope and The order of AHEPA, we intro-

duced some Greek recipes for the

residents to make. Pastichio, mousaka, tiropita, and spanakopita

were prepared by Philoptochos ,

which we brought and served. AHEPA donated six boxes of sou-

vlakia, which we cooked at the

Gardens. A total of 100 residents

joined expo, and children partici-pated in fun activities. Raffle

prizes were donated by the PTO

and the DOP. There was a total of eleven people who volunteered at

this event, including two

GOYAns.

On October 17th, we will be holding our annual Wine and Food

tasting Fall event. For information

or tickets, please call the office at 203-374-5561, Kalli T. at 203-926

-0137, or Sylvia at 203-814-2131.

Join us for a great time and some delicious Greek wines. A few

days after this event, on October

26th, we will have our General

assembly meeting, where we will have nominations for parish coun-

cil positions, nominate the election

committee, and present our pro-posed budget.

“People can call you many different things, but you are not what they call you. You are what you answer to.”

W ith the start of the

Ecclesiastical year, we would like to take this opportunity

again to welcome old and new

members. It is with great excitement, exuberance, and love

that we start the year, and as

always, we need your help to make

this year another success.

There are many fun activities

planned, not only for the children, but for the adults as well. They are

a great time to relax and get to

know one another and an opportunity for our children, and us

adults, to begin relationships that

will hopefully last a lifetime.

On the first day of Sunday

School, it was nice to see

Mr. Hallas welcoming everyone

and seeing them off to the

classrooms. The Executive boards of both the

PTO and the GOYAns were blessed

by Pater Andreas on the first day of Sunday School. Afterwards, a

luncheon for the parish was donated

by Phani Biros, in memory of her

late husband, whose forty day memorial service was on that day.

O Theos na ton anapafsi.

With the help of Lourdes

Pertesis, we had an Ice Cream

Social for the children of the Greek School, after which, they had the

Agiasmo by Pater Andreas. It was a

treat. Please keep reading our

emails, as we have a lot of events and activities coming up. Starting

in October, we have ―Smores

Under the Stars‖ on the 6th. On October 12th, we are meeting at

Jones’ Tree Farm (Pumpkin Seed

Hill) in Shelton for a hayride, corn

maze, and pumpkin picking, and on the 19th we are hosting our annual

―Fall Harvest Brunch,‖ where this

year the kids will again decorate a pumpkin, and on the 31st, we are

having a ―Happy Halloween

party‖ (no pagan or scary costumes please). Please respond to rsvp for

the smores night, jones tree farm

trip, and the Halloween party as it is

best if we can get a head count and plan accordingly.

For November, we will be baking our delicious Tsourekia and have

our Holiday Raffle starting.

As always your help is needed and appreciated.

beginning. Keeping together is progress. Working together is

success.‖ ― Henry Ford

GREEK SCHOOL

ΕΛΛΗΝΙΚΟ ΣΧΟΛΕΙΟ by Eleni Limberis , Director

O ur Sunday school started with great success, many

new students enrolled.

I'm so happy to see a lot of children coming to learn the Orthodox Faith

and Religion.

Your children will be coming home with their books every Sunday.

I would like parents to sign any

work/assignment so I know that a

parent has seen what was reviewed in class that day.

We have many exciting events

coming up in October, including: Meet and Greet with parents (date to

be announced) and a didactic service

on October 12th. This means that there will be 2 Services performed: the Liturgy upstairs

with Fr Serge and one downstairs with Fr Andreas. This

type of service is explained as it goes on so the children

will get a better understanding of what happens during

the Divine Liturgy. It is very im-portant for all children to be in at-

tendance that day.

We also have our Halloween par-ty on October 31st, sponsored by

Sunday school and PTO. Please see

the flyer in this issue for more infor-mation.

I would like to thank Joanne Bo-

gardus for working with the students

to learn the hymns of the Church. We are planning to have the children

singing with the Choir on the Sun-

days that they are scheduled to stay upstairs for the Liturgy.

I would also like to thank Vicky

Andriotis for her help with various projects in Sunday school.

Thank you and please try to arrive at church on time.

If any one has any concerns or questions please feel free

to contact me.

―Let us sing together!‖

A nother new year has begun

and our faithful choir is up

and singing. We have some new music in store for us and are eager

to get started. To go along with our

new music, the choir could use some new members. We realize that not eve-

ryone knows Greek but that is not a

problem. The words are written in

English phonetics.

Please feel free to come and say hello to

a choir member during coffee hour. We

are always happy to answer any questions you may have. So, if you enjoy singing,

we would like to welcome you as a new

member of Holy Trinity’s beautiful choir. We meet most Tuesday evenings from

6:00-8:00 p.m. in the choir loft. Please

call our remarkable choir director, Phoebe Leask, at 203-258-9160. But,

don’t hesitate! Now is a good time to

come and learn our new music together.

We hope to see you soon!

The

Theotokos,

Mary

T he icon of the T h e o t o k o s

(which means

Birthgiver of God, or

Mother of God) is very familiar to us.

She is most always

seen with her son, Jesus, because we

know her greatness

comes only through

Christ. She is a human being,

just like us, who was

chosen to give birth to God due to her

pure life style. She

points to her son with her right hand, and

Jesus, being God,

blesses.

He is usually holding a scroll in His

other hand that is not

opened, to show that His mission is just

beginning. The stars

on the Virgin's veil represent her purity, virginity, and goodness. She is referred to as "wider than the Heavens", and the stars that adorn her convey that symbolism as well.

The colors of the Virgin Mary's vestments are usually always the same. The inner is blue (representing her hu-

manity), and the outer cloak is a dark red (representing the holiness she was given as the Mother of God). In this icon

with His mother, Jesus is usually depicted in gold (as a sign of His royalty).

See if the icon of the Virgin in your Church matches this description. Then, make your icon to match!

One of the long term goals of the choir is to have the rear wall of the choir loft painted with the icon of St. Romanos, The Hymnographer. It may take a few years to reach our goal but we are moving closer every year. We have funds earmarked for this purpose, both from past fundraisers and from donations made by the families of choir members that have passed away. Thanks to your support, the proceeds from our auc-tion will help us to complete our project in the church.

“SILENT AUCTION”

Thanks to many contributors and supporters we will be offering exciting baskets and containers filled with an assortment of gifts for people of all ages! It’ll be easy to find the auction items. Just look for the balloons. You can buy tickets during the coffee hour from our strolling helpers or at the auction Tables. Each basket will have a value of at least $75. We are grateful to the organizations who have donated these beautiful baskets and look forward to see-ing everyone enjoying our Coffee Social and participating in our Silent Auction!

Tickets will be 5 for$10 or 20 for $20.

THERE WILL BE SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE!
