St. John Chrysostom Oratorical Festival Our representative for this year’s St. Johns Oratorical Festival Annamaria Kendrat placed FIRST for the state of Virginia, and will represent our Parish at the Metropolis competition in the Junior Competition!  As those of you who heard Annamaria’s speech on the Theotokos last month at our Parish, I’m sure this is not a big surprise considering how polished and well-delivered it was. On behalf of Fr. George, the Parish Council, and our entire Parish…we want to congratulate Annamaria on a job well done, and wish her well during the next stage of the competition.  Congratulations Annamaria! With this huge accomplishment, a member of the Greek Orthodox Parish of Loudoun County has been selected as the Virginia representative to the Metropolitan competition for the third straight year.  Our participants and their parents are to be commended for this…and we'd also like to thank Nick Zangos who took charge of this program three years ago for us and has provided strong leadership and guidance to our children who volunteer…yielding three straight Virginia winners.  Thank you for your continued support! <see photo below> Orthodox Young Professionals An attempt is being made to organize a new group in our parish that will bring together Orthodox Christian professionals, ranging in age from twenty (20) to thirty-five (35) years of age.  Our first organizational meeting will take place on Sunday, May 8, following Liturgy.  All interested are encouraged to attend and participate in this new, exciting endeavor.   "Our Company of Friends" Our May luncheon was a wonderful celebration of birthdays, warm conversations, and delicious meals. It was so great to welcome new friends to our PAREA! Remember that our PAREA luncheon will always be on the 1st Tuesday of every month at a restaurant of our choice.  All members of our Community are invited to participate in and enjoy a regular gathering for fellowship, conversation and fun!  Please note that our next luncheon will be on Tuesday, June 5th, at 11:30 am at the Olive Garden restaurant, 45970 Waterview Plaza, Sterling, VA 20166, tel: 571-434-0713.    Please give Marina a call so we can get an idea of how many people will be joining us! We would love to see you there!
