Our Philoptochos Board welcomed Archbishop Elpidophoros to our community on Holy Monday, 2023

MISSION

Philoptochos is the philanthropic and charitable organization of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America. It is one of America's largest women’s philanthropic and religious organizations. Philoptochos's mission is to help the poor, destitute, hungry, elderly, sick, unemployed, orphaned, widowed, disabled, and disaster victims in the United States and elsewhere in the world. The Philoptochos Society's charitable work is performed with discretion, kindness, and respect and is funded through donations and fundraisers.

PARTICIPATION

There are 19 board members and approximately 107 active members. Philoptochos assists in every ministry of Annunciation Church and is the umbrella organization for several ministries, some of which are included in the following pages.

Board meetings are held on the 1st Thursday of every month at 7:00 PM, and general meetings are held throughout the year.

All parish women are invited and welcomed to become active members of Philoptochos. We work in harmony towards the common purpose of serving the Church and the Greek Orthodox Community.

You are invited to visit the National Philoptochos Society website for information concerning the Society's national news, programs, history, leadership, membership, and bylaws.
