The St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church and National Shrine at the World Trade Center initiative is progressing wonderfully, thank you all of you that have fulfilled
100%!!!We are so proud of you! We are One Church and the destruction of Saint Nicholas Church and the devastation of the six (6) acre property in lower Manhattan on September 1, 2001, resonated throughout the entire country. The pain and sorrow belongs to all of us, as will the joy and hope Saint Nicholas will bring. Thank you for continuing the fundraising and collections of $100 per Philoptochos Steward through 2016, as many of you may know our District Philoptochos has well surpassed $100,000 for St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church and National Shrine in 2015.

I humbly ask those of you who have not placed Saint Nicholas Initiative at the forefront of your agenda over the past year, to do so now. Do not delay. The funds must be raised by our joint efforts. We must work together as sisters and not allow others to carry our responsibility to do what is right. Each chapter must do its part. Please plan for the fulfillment of your faithful commitment to the building of Saint Nicholas by expensing the funds in your 2016 Budgets.

Please be sure that all checks are
