MEMBERSHIP
To date our St. Paraskevi Chapter proudly holds 38 members from our Parish. Now
is the time to reach out to you-- women in our community who are not members,
and INVITE you to offer your talents to the mission of Philoptochos. It is now
the time to EMBRACE your ideas of compassion for your fellow man. Finally, it is
now the time to INVOLVE you, allowing you to offer your talents and ideas for
the betterment of our church community. It is simply one woman asking another woman to
care. Philoptochos is a team of heroes, and we want the team to become mightier.
Won’t you please join the following 38 female Orthodox warriors? It is the
responsibility of each and every one of us to continue to grow this organization
which was lovingly and courageously cultivated by our foremothers.
