centered state of being. A house of heal-ing and reconciliation.

We also fast strictly during Holy Week from Palm Sunday evening though Holy Saturday night until the Resurrec-tion is proclaimed. The Holy Week Fast is austere to remind us the self-denial and sacrifice leads us to the Cross and the triumphal Resurrection.

So how will we observe Lent during the next 6 weeks and Holy Week?

We decide how austere our personal fast should be in consultation with our spiritual father confessor. We ask him how we should devote our time and how we can descend with our minds into our hearts during prayer. Confession is a re-quirement during Great Lent, it should not be set aside due to inconvenience, laziness, fear or pride. Just as the body is cleansed of toxins through fasting, so too the soul is unburdened and cleansed in confession.

Thus, our Lenten journey redirects our regular behavior. Otherwise the ex-perience of Lent and Easter (Pascha) will only be a transitory one and not a trans-formational one. Remember the goal- the Resurrection of Christ in our hearts and minds! The joy and peace of a rich rela-tion with the Lord.

Fasting and self-control are the first virtue, the mother, the root, source and

foundation of all good The Philokalia vol.4

The Orthodox Church considers the human person a unity of soul and body. As such, we, as a community of wor-shipers, always should practice disci-pline and self control in order to pre-pare our bodies and souls for great holy days or feasts. Just as there are feasts, so also there are fasts in the ecclesiastical calendar.

The Great Lent is a time of fasting, prayer, charitable works and prepara-tion. This period of 40 days (from Clean Monday-March 3 to the Friday before Saturday of Lazarus- April 11) prepares us for the renewal we experience at the Feast of Feasts which is Pascha, Christs Resurrection.

Lenten practices bring us closer to Christ our Lord and Savior because we allow our very being to be transformed and become like Him by changing our thoughts, actions and therefore, our very being. We are to perform more good and charitable works like He, His apos-tles, saints and others did. We are to fast and deny our bodies like He did, (not just from foods we eat but what we hear, see and say) and we are to pray more frequently, privately and corpo-rately like He did. These worthwhile tasks are necessary, obvious yet not al-ways practiced. Yet, the Lenten journey provides the way to Jesus who is the Way, the Truth, and the Life and this journey culminates with Pascha and the personal experience of the Church as a spiritual hospital. A place for our resto-ration to a less sinful and more Christ-

We are Once Again Blessed..In late January after many months of going through the process of certification and

State and Town approvals, our Saint Nicholas community was blessed with the opening of the Young Scholars Academy Pre-K School.

Through a robust instructional strategy that combines pedagogy and play, Young Scholars Academy @ Saint Nicholas is committed to pre-paring the next generation of 21st Century learners. There are a variety of classes offered including balanced literacy, Spanish, and music apprecia-tion in addition to a number of enrichment classes. Special projects in-clude ongoing professional development and the implementation of emo-tional intelligence. There is also an integrated cross-cultural exchange program partnering with early childhood programs in Beijing and Shang-hai, China.

The birth of this unique school on our church campus is largely due to the efforts, determination and strong faith of our parishioner, Teri Limperopulos. Its a joy to watch her and her teachers greet the young students at the door of the school as they arrive eager, wide-eyed and smiling and ready to spend another day of learning and interacting with their schoolmates.

All of this wonderful learning experience is happening at the door-step of our church as He looks down taking care of His children. It is with His guidance that we have created and made possible this blessed opportunity which we share lovingly within our community, the Town of Wyckoff and beyond. As of this writing we look forward to the Ribbon Cutting Ceremony which will take place on February 28th with invita-tions having gone out to the Mayor of the Town of Wyckoff and other Town officials as well as the press and the community at large.

PARISH COUNCIL

VOUME 15, ISSUE 3 PARISH LIFE

Unprecedented Meeting of Bergen County Church Parish Council Officers..On the evening of February 12th there was an unprecedented meeting of Par-ish Council Presidents, Vice-Presidents and Treasurers from surrounding Bergen County churches. The meeting was hosted by the Parish Council Officers of Saint John the Theologian Cathedral at Tenafly. Vice President Jon Zymaris and I represented Saint Nicholas alongside Par-ish Council Officers from Paramus, Fairview and our Tenafly hosts.

The Meeting was very informative and productive as the theme centered around our four churches networking to minimize expenses, improve revenue and share know-how and best practices with each other. One major takea-way from this first meeting were discussions about shared services as each community was tasked to report back at the next gathering on how to maximize in a com-bined group scenario such items as gas/electric rates; hall and gym rentals; HVAC contractors; snow removal and other commonly utilized vendors.

2014 Budget and Stewardship Update..We had a strong start to the year with respect to Stewardship, com-ing in $20k above budget. Most other items were basical-ly in line leading to a total revenue of $84k versus budget of about $62k.

Overall, expenses came in a bit higher than expecta-tions with snow removal at the top of the list approaching $8,000 to date.

Even though Stewardship was strong in January, halfway through February we are behind budget. So that you know, in 2013 we had 454 stewards with a steward-ship budget of $374,743 which averaged $825 donation per steward. We needed $1,438 per steward to cover ex-penses in 2013. In 2014 we also have 454 stewards with a budget of $399,932 and an average steward donation of $881. In 2014 we will need a donation of $1,440 per steward to cover expenses. In Christ, Jim Giokas, Parish Council President

GOYAs year has been great and we are looking for-

ward to the rest of it as we have a lot of fun filled events

in the later months. We had fundraisers and trips during

the month of February which makes all the GOYANs

excited for March!

During the month of February GOYA had our annual

Carousel Cake Fundraiser. Thank you to all the

GOYANs that sold cakes along with who bought them.

GOYA also took a trip to Saint Michaels Home for the

elderly on February 1st. Our GOYANs had an uplifting

day spreading cheer along with our Greek Dance Troop

who performed some dances for them. A wonderful time

was had by all.

Our GOYA also attended the Valentines Dance at

Fairview on February 14th. We had a fun time dancing and

spending time with our fellow GOYANs. Also, on Febru-

ary 21st we went to Mountain Creek to go snow tubing.

We all had a splendid time sliding down the hill together.

GOYA plans on attending many events in the month

of March including Sights and Sounds on March 1st which

our GOYANS have been practicing for months. Good luck

to all of our GOYANS who are participating. We will be

hosting a Sights and Sounds Showcase on March 9th where

the parents will be able to see the many talents of our

amazing GOYANS. Bridges Outreach will be on March

21st 22nd where our GOYANS will be preparing sand-

wiches and lunch packets along with toiletry kits and de-

liver them to the homeless in Newark. A rewarding and

enlightening time is guaranteed for all! Our GOYA will be

marching in the Greek Independence Day Parade in NYC

on March 30th. GOYANS will have a fantastic time walk-

ing on 5th Avenue and displaying our Greek Pride!

Our next GOYA meeting will be on March 11th.

We look forward to seeing you all there!!!

They are available for $20 per book and can be purchased at Fellowship Hour on Sunday. Kali Orexi! Congratulations to the entire cookbook committee for all their hard work, its a great cookbook that everyone will enjoy.

The Mardi Gras Glendi was huge a success. We all enjoyed the evening of dining, dancing and fun gift raf-fles at the Brick House in Wyckoff with many of our

Saint Nicholas friends. The evening had great kefi thanks to DJ Peter Bayiokos (also Saint Nicholas GOYA President). We thank all the committee members for making this evening a success. As always, all proceeds from the event will benefit our charitable projects.

This month we continued with our outreach efforts by assisting Saint Nicholas church members through some difficult financial times. Did you know that on a regular basis, the Saint Nicholas Ladies Philoptochos So-ciety lends a hand to people in need in our own commu-nity? Charity begins at home and we are thrilled to help our own people as well as reach out to local and national charities.

How can you participate in our charitable out-

reach? The first step is to become a member. Your

membership dues of $40 annually are used to fulfill our

local and national philanthropic giving. So, by being

helping those in need. Become a member, simply con-

tact membership coordinator, Tammy Spyropoulos at 201

-934-5139 and help us help others.

Saint Nicholas Greek School is already busy this new year with studies and extra-curricular events. Quarterly exams were held in January and mid-year report cards were given out as well. We held our annual Gyro night fundraiser and it was very successful. We thank all those who volunteered and supported this event.

We are gearing up for our biggest annual event, the Annunciation (Evangelismos) and March 25th Commem-oration that will be held on Saturday, March 29th. Be-cause of the current hall renovation at Saint Nicholas, the event will be held at Saint Athanasios in Paramus, NJ. The Greek School children will perform a memorable program of Greek songs and poems to commemorate the Evangelismo and Greek Independence. Afterwards, there will be a dinner and tricky tray. It is always an enjoyable occasion for the Greek School families. We thank Saint Nicholas and Saint Athanasios for their support with this event. If you have anything you would like to donate for the Tricky Tray, please contact Angela Bachardy at [email protected] or Kathy Van Dine at [email protected].

We will also be participating in the Greek Independ-ence Day parade held in New York City on Sunday, March 30th. Greek School families, along with our Goyans and Church parishioners, have an opportunity to represent our Church in the parade. It is a wonderful event for all.

We pray for a continued blessed year at our Greek School.

A handful of ladies meet regularly on the 2nd and 4th Thursday of each month, and this quiet time has proven to strengthen our faith. We welcome and encourage all ladies who are interested in a time of dedicated prayer and fellowship to join us. If you have any prayer re-quests, please call the parish office or Irene Ayvas at 201-803-2307, and the ladies will gladly add the requests to our ongoing list.

On Tuesday, February 2nd, Kali Parea was not able to have its monthly meeting because of inclement weather.

Instead a wise decision (wisdom comes with "maturity") was made by all to stay home and brew a cup of tea, coffee or hot cocoa topped with lots of "homemade" whip cream (with "maturity" you do not have to worry about cholesterol so much-it's already packed in solid) and watched the snow turn everything into a beautiful winter wonderland.

Now if Mother Nature will cooperate, we will have our next meeting on Tuesday, March 4th at 12 noon in the conference room by the church office. Lunch, along with coffee and dessert will be served. Our guest will be Jerry Maroules, Esq. who will talk about Elder Card.

To join us e-mail Angie Milcos at [email protected]. Once you get to know us, you will get to like us (well, some of us anyway).

In spite of the bitter cold winter temperatures, the sisters of Agape Chapter were warmed by the addition of 4 sis-ters to our membership in January. I am happy to an-nounce the re-instatement of Sister Lambryn Stergiou, as well as the initiation of Sisters Christina Carmichael, Danielle Kalas and Helen Nonas.

Our snow birds have made their way to Florida, but that did not stop the animated conversation of those of us left behind at our Book Club meetings. In January, we discussed The Second Opinion by Michael Palmer, while What Remains by Carole Radziwill was the reading se-lection for our February meeting. Now we are making our way through The Interestings, whose author, Meg Wolitzer will be featured speaker at the Friends of the Ridgewood Library Spring Luncheon at Seasons in March. We are really looking forward to attending what promises to be a spectacular event.

Our Knitting/Crocheting Circle members have been busy making squares and preemie caps in the comfort/warmth of their own homes. We will be meeting shortly to put the squares together and make lapghans (small afghans for folks in wheelchairs). Lessons are available as are patterns. Please let Athena Katsaros know if you would like to join the Knitting/Crocheting Circle, or if you would like to knit/crochet for us in the comfort of your own home, or if you have yarn to donate. Her phone number is: (917) 841-7301.

Pascha (Easter) is right around the corner and that means our AGAPE Chapter is holding our annual Tsou-

reki Sale! Please look for our flyer in the mail pre-paid orders will be accepted until April 6 and the tsou-rekia will be distributed after services on Palm Sunday, April 13. For information, kindly contact the chairperson of this event, Effie Stratis at [email protected].

If you would like to join our Agape Chapter, please contact our Vice President, Effie Stratis, at [email protected]. If you would like to know more about the Daughters of Penelope or any of our charities, kindly contact Athena Katsaros at [email protected].

The feast of the Annunciation of the Theotokos

(Evangelismos) is a Great Feast of the Orthodox Church celebrated on March 25th. We celebrate this feast exactly nine months before Christmas because the Annunciation commemorates the conception of Jesus Christ by the Vir-gin Mary through the Holy Spirit. We eat fish on the An-nunciation because, even though it falls during Great Lent (a time when we do not eat meat, dairy or fish), this feast calls for a relaxation of fasting for the day. The oth-er day that fish is eaten during Lent is Palm Sunday in this way we celebrate these important holidays while re-membering to keep Pascha (Easter) the Greatest Feast.

The Annunciation reveals an important social teaching of the Orthodox Church. We are celebrating the incarnation of Jesus Christ His conception the very real beginning of Gods time living as a human being. The Church also has feast days commemorating the con-ception of the Virgin Mary (December 9) and Saint John the Baptist (September 23). If we celebrate the concep-tion of Jesus and two major saints, what does this say about the Churchs understanding of conception? Our tradition celebrates conception as the beginning of the human person. God creates each human person at the moment of their conception body and soul. Our cele-bration of Jesus conception at the Annunciation calls us to honor all human persons from the moment of their conception.

We learn from this feast that God desires to be in in-timate relationship with His creation, specifically with mankind. On the Annunciation, the Creator of the uni-verse chose to become part of His creation. This is a great mystery! But in Gods humility, we learn humility.

In Gods experience of temptation, we learn how to re-spond to temptation. In Gods victory over death, we learn that death no longer has power over us. We know that God has lived in a world just as broken as our own and that He also worried about his friends, experienced the deaths of His loved ones and endured being hated by others. Because He Himself has suffered and been tempted, He is able to help those who are tempted, He-brews 2:18. Our God is not a god who lives in heaven far away from the harsh realities of life on Earth. Our God is the God who knows our pain, not only because He is pre-sent with us in our struggles, but because He experienced His own.

Lastly, we learn from the Annunciation how to say yes to Gods will in our life. The Archangel Gabriel came to the young Virgin Mary to tell her that she would conceive Jesus, even though she was a virgin. Although she initially doubted how this could be possible, she eventually responded to the angel by saying, I am the handmaid of the Lord, let it be to me according to your word (Luke 1:38). God did not force His will on Mary. He allowed her to say yes to His will in her life. She accepted Gods will in her life even though she knew it would prove a difficult journey. She recognized that God comes first in her life and desired to follow His will in all things.

By celebrating the Annunciation of the Virgin Mary, we honor conception as the creation of the human person, we learn that God can truly empathize with our struggles, and we learn to imitate the Virgin Mary in her acceptance of Gods will.

March 2 - Forgiveness Sunday (Cheesefare)

March 3 - Great Lent begins As we begin our journey as a community, it might be

helpful to see what our Lord Himself and St Paul have taught us concerning fasting and forgiveness.

"Let not him who eats despise him who abstains, and let not him who abstains pass judgment on him who eats; for God has welcomed him. Who are you to pass judg-ment on the servant of another?" Romans 14:3-4

"The Lord said, 'If you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father also will forgive you; but if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father for-give your trespasses.'" Matthew 6:14-15

"And when you fast, do not look dismal, like the hypo-crites, for they disfigure their faces that their fasting may be seen by men. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. But when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face, that your fasting may not be seen by men but by your Father who is in secret." Matthew 6:16-18

March 9 Sunday of Orthodoxy

On this day, we commemo-rate the end of a period of

iconoclasm: a time when people destroyed the holy

icons from our churches be-tween 717-842 AD. Every year, we remember that we

do not worship icons; they help us have a closer relationship with Christ.

March 14 Saint Benedict of Nursia

The image of God, was faithfully preserved in you, O Father. For you took up the Cross and followed Christ. By Your actions you taught us to look be-yond the flesh for it pass-es, rather to be concerned about the soul which is immortal. Wherefore, O Holy Benedict, your soul

rejoices with the angels. Saint Benedict was born in Nursia, a town near

Rome. He is known for bringing monasticism to the West after studying the monasteries founded by Eastern monks such as St Basil the Great. He died in 547 AD.

March 17 Saint Patrick,

Enlightener of Ireland

O Holy Hierarch, equal of the Apostles, Saint Patrick, wonderworker and enlight-ener of Ireland: Intercede with the merciful God that He grant unto our souls for-giveness of offences. Did you know that St Patrick is also a saint in the Ortho-dox Church? He spread the

Church in Ireland at a time when the Eastern Churches and the Churches in the West were still one. When he came to Ireland from England, Ireland was a pagan country. He taught the faith of Christ throughout his lifewhich put his life in danger and eventually become a bishop. He died in 461 AD.

March 25 Annunciation of the

Theotokos

The Feast of the Annunciation (Evangelismos) of Our Most Holy Lady, the Theotokos and Ever-Virgin Mary is celebrated on March 25 each year. The Feast commemo-rates the announcement by the Archangel Gabri-

el to the Virgin Mary that our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, the Son of God, would become incarnate and enter into this world through her womb.

On this day our Metropolitan Evangelos of New Jersey celebrates his name day.

March 31 Saint Innocent of Alaska

Saint Innocent was a Russian priest, later a bishop, who travelled to Alaska to serve the Orthodox Christians there. He became a missionary to the Native Alaskans, travel-ling from island to island by canoe. He learned and trans-lated the scriptures and Or-thodox services into many Aleut languages. His exam-

ple shows us that Orthodoxy is for all people and all lan-guages. He died in 1879 AD.
