―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

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!

gresses. Also, Greek School started, and it is wonderful to see our youngsters learn our Greek language, culture,

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!
