This week at St Catherine's Youth Fellowship Con Theocharides will be presenting a talk reflecting on his journey in helping the homeless and disadvantaged families.
The talk will feature his experiences of compassion and acts of kindness - a simple gesture but a life changing experience for recipients and givers for our fellow brothers & sisters of Christ.
We strongly encourage all our youth to attend.
7pm Thursday at the Church Hall 13-15 Tunbridge Street Mascot.
Recently, the St Catherine’s Philoptohos purchased 50 sleeping bags to donate to the homeless. Tonight, a group of ladies accompanied Con Theocharides, from A Touch of Kindness, to the city to hand them out. They were much appreciated by the homeless, and for us, a huge blessing to be a part of. A huge thank you to Anaconda at Moore Park for their continued support, and to Con and Cathy Theocharides for their tireless efforts in assisting the less fortunate.
We were blessed to have Father Peter at our Greek school today. Our Greek school is always open to new enrolments. Our school commences at 9.30am and finishes 12.30pm every Saturday at our church hall, 13-15 Tunbridge St Mascot. This is a great opportunity for the young generation to learn Greek and preserve the Greek language.

The soil of our homeland – from Lemnos to Crete, and in many corners of mainland Greece and the islands, is watered with the blood of hundreds of Australian soldiers, who fought and sacrificed their lives for the universal values during the First and Second World Wars. These heroes were just some of the thousands of ANZAC men and women who, although far from their homeland and families, unselfishly defended the values of freedom, democracy, justice and human dignity.
The ANZACs have gone down in history as models of altruism and self-sacrifice in the consciousness of the Greek people who joined them, for example, in Lemnos when they hosted and cared for the soldiers who took part in the Gallipoli Campaign, or in Crete and in other parts of Greece, when locals and Allies fought side by side to stave off the Nazi invasion.
There is no better day than today to demonstrate to the whole of Australian society the prominent place that ANZACs hold in the hearts and minds of Greeks. And as a Cretan by birth, I feel the need to go a step further and express our gratitude to the ANZACs for their commitment to the high ideals that spurred them to shed even their blood to defend our land – a place that was not theirs, but which became their own!
Therefore, fully aware of our historical responsibility, we bow down today in reverence to the glorious heroes of the Australian nation. Their example will always move us, inspire us and guide us.
Lest we forget!
Χριστός Ανέστη! Christ is Risen.
