A major fundraising effort by the Parish of the Holy Apostles in Newcastle has raised $15,000 to support Saint Andrew’s Greek Orthodox Theological College.
The event, held on Sunday, August 17, followed a Hierarchical Divine Liturgy presided over by His Grace Bishop Christodoulos of Magnesia.
The Philoptochos Association hosted the fundraiser in the Community Hall, creating a lively family atmosphere.
Parishioners enjoyed food lovingly prepared by Nektaria Arvanitis, supported by the tireless work of the Philoptochos ladies under Vice President Anna Patnioti.
Excitement built as the raffle prizes – donated by generous local business owners – helped the event exceed expectations.
The Parish expressed gratitude to all contributors and supporters, including the Philoptochos Association, George Fokas and family, Mark Williams of Williams Jewellery Store, and parish members George Raftis, Dr Vasilios Kalyvas and Theodoros Potiris.
