St Basil’s Euphoria seniors celebrate March 25 with joy and connection

·

St Basil’s NSW & ACT marked Greek Independence Day with a vibrant celebration alongside staff and participants from its Euphoria Seniors Social Groups, bringing together older members of the community in a warm display of connection, culture and shared heritage.

Clients and carers spent the day celebrating through conversation, music and reflection, creating joyful moments that honoured both personal memories and the enduring legacy of March 25.

The event formed part of the organisation’s ongoing commitment to fostering wellbeing, inclusion and cultural identity among seniors.

This comes after St Basil’s NSW & ACT’s recent March 25 special celebration attended by members of a visiting cross-party parliamentary delegation from Greece. The event highlighted heritage, faith and diaspora ties.

Among the distinguished guests were Maximos Charakopoulos, Secretary of the Parliamentary Group of New Democracy; Filippos Fortomas, Chair of the Hellenic Parliament’s Special Permanent Committee on Greeks Abroad; Stavros Michailidis from PASOK; and Konstantinos Barkas from SYRIZA.
