«Φωνὴ βοῶντος ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ, Ἑτοιμάσατε τὴν ὁδὸν Κυρίου» A Message From Our Pastor
Dear Brother and Sisters in Christ

It is indeed a truth that every entrance to a new year fills our hearts with dreams, hopes,
resolutions and goals, planning for new action and creation, earning profits and gains of all
kinds to reach high goals. The New Year is the time for us to review what we have done in
the previous year, and what will be done in the time ahead of us. It is also true that this time
brings to mind the circle of the year that we are again obliged to live in. The passing of the
year can be seen by us in many different ways. We grow older and our strength is not the
same as in previous years. Our inseparable companion, our body, ages and deteriorates. We
cannot avoid this. This often fills us with feelings of frustration.
By realizing this reality day by day, it is worth it to ask ourselves what our position is in
reference to this awesome thing which is called “time”. What makes our resistance against
this issue of getting “old” that makes the present the past before we have the chance to enjoy
it and live it? As Christians we experience the benediction and the surpassing of time in the
Church. We are all members of the Body of Christ. As our head we have the Eternal Lord
who is the only one that time does not decay and does not wither. He grants
imperishableness to all who are connected to Him through the Holy Sacraments.
So, we live in the Liturgical timing of the Church that unites the time of life with the mystery
of our salvation. So time then becomes sacred, especially in an “acceptable time” during
which we strive to respond to the calling of God for salvation. That is why time is the most
important element in our earthly life, which is why we have to take advantage of it as long as
we have time, to prepare our future. Let us not waste our time with unimportant things, or
worse with sinful desires. Let us not postpone anything that we can do today; we do not
know if we are going to live tomorrow to take advantage of it. The Apostle warns us:
“behold is a day of salvation”, which for us means a day of repentance and confession, a day
of prayer, a day of goodness, a day of work to obtain all the virtues in general. To postpone
something that you can do today or to say “I have plenty of time” is a great enemy which
seeks to divert us from our eternal destiny.
With these thoughts, let us all take advantage of the time we have here on earth to be
productive in society and in our personal life for our own salvation during this New Year.
May we be granted the goodness of God for His glory and for the
prosperity of all our brothers and our own salvation.
With love in Christ I wish you a Happy and Healthy New Year!

Μήνυμα του Ιερατικώς Προϊσταμένου
Αγαπητοί εν Χριστώ αδελφοί,
Με δοξολογία και ευχαριστία προς τον γιο Θεό εισερχόμαστε στο νέο έτος 2011, το οποίο μας χάρισε και πάλι, σαν μία πίστωση
αγάπης, η μακροθυμία του Κυρίου μας.
Είναι αλήθεια πως η είσοδος στην κάθε νέα χρονιά γεμίζει τις καρδιές μας με όνειρα, προσδοκίες, οράματα και προγραμματισμούς
για νέα δράση και δημιουργία, απόκτηση κερδών κάθε είδους και κατάκτηση υψηλών στόχων. Η πρωτοχρονιά είναι καιρός
απολογισμού αυτών πού κάναμε, αλλά και προγραμματισμού όσων πρόκειται να ενεργήσουμε στο χρονικό διάστημα πού
απλώνεται μπροστά μας.
Είναι επίσης αλήθεια, όμως, πώς η κάθε πρωτοχρονιά φέρνει μαζί της και κάτι άλλο: την υπενθύμιση της αδιάκοπης ανακύκλησης
του χρόνου, μέσα στην όποια καλούμεθα υποχρεωτικά να ζήσουμε. Το πέρασμά του σημειώνεται πάνω μας, καθώς αυξάνονται τα
χρόνια της ζωής μας, και καταβάλλει τις σωματικές μας δυνάμεις. Ο αχώριστος σύντροφός μας, το σώμα μας, γερνά και φθείρεται.
Δεν μπορούμε να το αποφύγουμε. Αυτό συχνά μας γεμίζει με συναισθήματα απογοήτευσης.
Συνειδητοποιώντας μέρα με την μέρα αυτήν την πραγματικότητα, αξίζει και επιβάλλεται να αναρωτηθούμε για την δική μας στάση
ζωής απέναντι στο φοβερό αυτό μέγεθος πού λέγεται «χρόνος». Ποια μπορεί να είναι ? αντίσταση μας ενάντια στο καθολικό αυτό
«πάλιωμα», πού καθιστά το παρόν παρελθόν, πριν ακόμη προλάβουμε να το ζήσουμε και να το χαρούμε;
Ως χριστιανοί βιώνουμε τον αγιασμό και την υπέρβαση του χρόνου μέσα στην Εκκλησία. Μέλη όλοι μας του Σώματος του
Χριστού, έχουμε ως Κεφαλή τον Υπέρχρονο Κύριο, πού μόνος Αυτός παραμένει ανεπηρέαστος από την φθορά και αναλλοίωτος,
και χαρίζει την αφθαρσία σε όλους όσοι συνδέονται μαζί Του δια τον Αγίων Μυστηρίων.
Έτσι ζούμε μέσα στον λειτουργικό χρόνο της Εκκλησίας, πού συνδέει τον χρόνο της ανθρώπινης ζωής μας με το μυστήριο της
σωτηρίας μας. Ο χρόνος τότε γίνεται ιερός, κατεξοχήν «ευπρόσδεκτος καιρός», στην διάρκεια του οποίου αγωνιζόμαστε να
ανταποκριθούμε στην κλήση του Θεού για σωτηρία. Είναι, γι? αυτό, το πιο σημαντικό στοιχείο στην επίγεια ζωή μας, το οποίο
οφείλουμε να εκμεταλλευθούμε «έως καιρόν έχωμεν», για να προετοιμάσουμε το αιώνιο μέλλον μας.
Ας μην τον σκοτώνουμε, λοιπόν, άσκοπα, σπαταλώντας τον σε ανωφελή πράγματα ή, ακόμη χειρότερα, σε αμαρτωλές επιθυμίες.
Και ας μην αναβάλλουμε για την αύριο αυτό πού μπορούμε να κάνουμε σήμερα. Δεν γνωρίζουμε αν θα ζήσουμε το αύριο για το
εκμεταλλευθούμε. Ο Απόστολος μας προειδοποιεί: «Ιδού ημέρα σωτηρίας», πράγμα που για μάς σημαίνει: ημέρα μετανοίας και
εξομολογήσεως, ημέρα προσευχής, ήμερα ανεξικακίας και μακροθυμίας, ημέρα αγώνος για την απόκτηση όλων γενικά των αρετών,
ήμερα αγιότητος. Η αναβολή και η γνωστή φράση «έχω καιρό» είναι ένας μεγάλος εχθρός πού ζητεί να μας αποπροσανατολίσει
από τον αιώνιο προορισμό μας.
Με αυτές τις σκέψεις, λοιπόν, εύχομαι όλοι μας να αξιοποιήσουμε και τον νέο αυτό χρόνο πού μάς χάρισε η Αγαθότητα του Κυρίου
μας, για την δόξα Του, την προκοπή των αδελφών μας και την δική μας σωτηρία.
Μετά πατρικών εορτίων ευχών και της εν Κυρίω αγάπης,
Ο Ιερατικώς Προϊστάμενος

HOUSE BLESSINGS FOR EPIPHANY 2011
As you all already know, it is tradition in the Greek Orthodox faith to have your home blessed in the beginning of the year. It is
also a nice opportunity to get the family together and participate in a vital part of our Christian Faith. In order to facilitate this, the
church office will be mailing cards to all parishioners informing them of when the priest will be in your area. Below you will find
a tentative schedule. We hope that you make this beautiful tradition part of your family’s life.
ΑΓΙΑΣΜΟΣ ΤΩΝ ΣΠΙΤΙΩΝ
Όπως όλοι ξέρετε, η Ελληνορθόδοξη πίστη μας επιβάλει να αγιάζονται τα σπίτια μας την αρχή κάθε χρόνου. Είναι επίσης, μία
όμορφη ευκαιρία να συγκεντρώσουμε την οικογένειά μας και να ζήσουμε από κοντά ένα κομμάτι της Χριστιανικής μας Πίστης.
Με σκοπό να οργανώσει τους Αγιασμούς όσο γίνεται καλύτερα, το γραφείο της εκκλησίας μας θα στείλει κάρτες που
γνωστοποιούν στους ενορίτες μας πότε θα είναι ο ιερέας στην περιοχή σας. Παρακάτω θα βρείτε το προκαταρκτικό πρόγραμμα.
Ελπίζουμε κανείς να μην χάσει την όμορφη αυτή ευκαιρία και ευχόμαστε ο ετήσιος Αγιασμός να γίνει μέρος της ζωής κάθε
Χριστιανικής οικογένειας.

President’s Message
Dear Parishioners,
I would like to take this opportunity to wish all of the parishioners of St. George a very Merry Christmas and a Joyous and
Healthy New Year.
I beseech all of you to give the incoming Board of Trustees your wholehearted support -without your help any Board is impotent.
Although members of the Board work tirelessly to make sure that the Church operates smoothly and that the physical plant is in
good shape, your participation in fund raising, in community projects, as well as in social activities is necessary for the success
of the Community. As a St. George “family” it’s only when each individual does his or her part that the Community survives
and creates cohesiveness able to face the challenges of these times.
During the past year I have written some lengthy messages to you with the hope of stirring some interest and with the hope of
developing a sense of identity for our religious home, St. George. Some rallied to the cause and there are significant
accomplishments that are testaments to that interest. To many, however, my words fell on deaf ears. The biggest
disappointment was the poor support that was received for the new roof installed to protect your church. I thank those who
contributed and I pray for the enlightenment of those who did not support this very worthwhile cause.
As I mentioned in my previous message, the end of this year marks the end of my presidency of this great Community, a
Community in which I was born, baptized and in which I have spent my entire life. Like an old soldier who is ending his
military career, I now close my service as President of the Community that I truly love. Like an old soldier, I did my duty as
God gave me the light to see that duty and to do what was right for St. George. Without question or hesitation and with all my
heart, I served you to the best of my ability. I put St. George ahead of both my family and
myself. This Community will always be dear to my heart
United We Stand
Αγαπήσωμεν Αλλήλους
Good Bye and God Bless you.

Μήνυμα του Προέδρου
Αγαπητοί ενορίτες,
Θα ήθελα μ’αυτή την ευκαιρία να ευχηθώ σε όλους τους ενορίτες του Αγίου Γεωργίου πολύ Καλά Χριστούγεννα και ένα
χαρούμενο και υγιές Νέο Έτος.
Σας ικετεύω όλους να δώσετε την ειλικρινή σας υποστήριξη στο εισερχόμενο Διοικητικό Συμβούλιο - χωρίς τη βοήθειά σας
οποιοσδήποτε συμβούλιο είναι ανήμπορο. Παρά το γεγονός ότι τα μέλη του Διοικητικού Συμβουλίου ακούραστα εργάζονται για
να σιγουρευτούν ότι η Εκκλησία λειτουργεί ομαλά και ότι οι υλικές εγκαταστάσεις είναι σε καλή κατάσταση, η συμμετοχή σας
στη συγκέντρωση κεφαλαίων, στα κοινοτικά προγράμματα, καθώς και στις κοινωνικές δραστηριότητες είναι απαραίτητη για την
επιτυχία της Κοινότητας. Ως μία "οικογένεια" του Αγίου Γεωργίου, μόνο όταν το κάθε άτομο κάνει το μέρος του, τότε η
Κοινότητα επιβιώνει και δημιουργεί ικανή συνεκτικότητα ώστε να είναι σε θέση να αντιμετωπίσει τις προκλήσεις των αυτών των
καιρών.
Κατά τη διάρκεια του περασμένου έτους σας έχω γράψει μερικά μεγάλα μηνύματα με την ελπίδα να κινήσω κάπως το ενδιαφέρον
σας και με την ελπίδα ότι κάπως θα προάγω το συναίσθημα της ταυτότητας για το θρησκευτικό μας σπίτι, τον Άγιο Γεώργιο.
Μερικοί ανασυντάχτηκαν στη προσπάθεια και υπήρξαν σημαντικές ολοκληρώσεις που αποτελούν απόδειξη για αυτό το στόχο.
Για πολλούς, όμως, τα λόγια μου έπεσαν στο κενό. Η μεγαλύτερη απογοήτευση ήταν η φτωχή υποστήριξη που παραλήφθηκε για
τη νέα στέγη που εγκαταστάθηκε για προστατεύσει την εκκλησία σας. Ευχαριστώ όσους συνέβαλαν και προσεύχομαι για το
διαφωτισμό εκείνων που δεν υποστήριξαν αυτό τον πολύ σημαντικό σκοπό.
Όπως ανέφερα στο προηγούμενο μήνυμα μου, το τέλος αυτού του έτους, χαρακτηρίζει το τέλος της προεδρίας μου, αυτής της
μεγάλης Κοινότητας, μια Κοινότητα στη οποία γεννήθηκα, βαφτίστηκα και στην οποία έχω περάσει ολόκληρη τη ζωή μου. Σαν
ένας παλιός στρατιώτης που τελειώνει τη στρατιωτική του σταδιοδρομία, τελείωσα τη θητεία μου ως Πρόεδρος της Κοινότητας
που αληθινά αγαπώ. Σαν ένα παλιός στρατιώτης, έκανα το καθήκον μου κανονικά όπως μου έδωσε ο Θεός το φως να δω το χρέος
μου και να κάνω ότι ήταν σωστό για τον Άγιο Γεώργιο. Χωρίς καμία αμφιβολία ή δισταγμό το έκανα με όλη μου την καρδιά, σας
εξυπηρέτησα με το καλύτερο της δυνατότητάς μου. Έβαλα τον Άγιο Γεώργιο μπροστά από την οικογένειά μου και εμένα. Αυτή η
Κοινότητα θα είναι πάντα αγαπητή στην καρδιά μου.
United We Stand
Αγαπήσωμεν Αλλήλους
Αντίο και ο Θεός να σας ευλογεί.
Μανώλης Μανιουδάκης
Πρόεδρος
Οι εκλογές για το νέο Διοικητικό Συμβούλιο έλαβαν χώρα την 14 Νοεμβρίου 2010. Τα αποτελέσματα, κατ ʹαλφαβητική σειρά, είναι ως εξής: Δημήτριος (Jim) Eξαρχάκης, Βασίλης Κεραμιδάς, Ευστράτιος Κουριδάκης, Κατερίνα Λευθέρη, Ιωάννης Λυσσικάτος, Παναγιώτης Συρίμης, Γιώργος Ζαλοκώστας και Γεώργιος Πετραντωνάκης (αναπληρωματικός) Συγχαρητήρια σ ʹόλους. Επιτυχή και καρποφόρα θητεία!

very happy and healthy new year
filled with all of God’s Blessings!
It was a busy and outstanding ending
of year 2010 for the Philoptochos
ladies! We met our many National
Philoptochos obligations, completed
the sewing and distribution of the
baby blankets and baby smocks,
prepared and mailed the Community
Christmas Card, baked and sold pans
of Baklava, Kourampiedes, sold Christmas Bread and
Vasilopites, celebrated our St. Barbara’s holiday with an
artoklasia and our annual ‘St. Barbara Luncheon’, visited the
shut-ins of our community throughout the year, continued the
monthly cooking for the homeless and crocheting afghans for the
Warming of America, delivered boxes of Christmas cookies to
the children of Amanda Crossing (a home in Middlesex County
for homeless mothers and their children), knitted hats, mittens,
and scarves for the children at St. Basil Academy, donated
linens, etc. to the Ronald McDonald House, assisted monetarily
to four (4) Food Banks in the area, provided much needed
assistance through the Needy Cases Fund, and participated and
made donations to numerous St. George activities.
Congratulations to all the chairs of these activities and all those
who assisted as they did an outstanding job!
We continue our busy schedule as we begin the year 2011. Our
Vasilopita took place on Jan. 2, 2011. On February 6, our
Membership Brunch will be held in the AHEPA Hall—
everyone’s invited. This is an opportunity for the ladies who are
not yet members to learn about the Philoptochos and become
members. On March 13 (Orthodoxy Sunday) a Memorial
Service for our deceased members will take place. On that same
day, March 13, our Lenten Luncheon will take place. The
entire community is invited to this Lenten Luncheon
immediately after the Divine Liturgy. The donations from the
Lenten Luncheon will benefit Hellenic College/Holy Cross. Our
next 2 meetings will take place on January 22 and February
26. We encourage all our members to check their calendars for
the dates of our monthly meetings and to attend all our meetings.
This is an election year and we look
forward to having more members to serve
on the Board of Governors. So, ladies,
come to the meetings and participate in our
various activities. Also, let’s start the new
year right by paying all our dues!
CONGRATULATIONS, EVELLYN!!!
In October, 2010, we were informed by National Philoptochos
that our very own Philoptochos member Evellyn Tsiadis was
appointed, once again, to serve on the Philoptochos National
Board. Not only is Evellyn a member of our Philoptochos but
she is also President of the Academy of St. Basil Board of
Trustees and is very active in the Daughters of Penelope
having served that organization in many capacities and
ultimately as Grand President. To Evellyn we extend our
congratulations and very best wishes for much happiness and
much success in the future. KAI SE ANOTERA!!!
CHRISTMAS CARD / NEEDY CASES FUND
The Philoptochos Needy Cases Fund Committee extends its
heartfelt thanks and deepest appreciation to the parishioners
and organizations of the St. George Community for their
generous donations to the Needy Cases Fund through their
participation in the community Christmas Card of 2010.
We also acknowledge the following donations that were not
included in this year’s Christmas Card:
Giannios Family
Mr. & Mrs. Spiros Karas
John & Connie Protopapadakis
In addition, we thank those parishioners from our community
who took the time to investigate their company’s Gift
Matching Program and/or their United Way Program which
resulted in a substantial benefit to the Needy Cases Fund. As a
result, we strongly encourage those parishioners of the St.
George community who may be eligible to help us through
their company’s Gift Matching Program, or their United Way
Program, to utilize this wonderful opportunity. Indeed, the
needy of the St. George Community will reap the benefits.
Again, we thank you one and all, and pray that the new year
will bring to your hearts and homes the Blessings of the Christ
Child!
Remember to direct your
UNITED WAY donation to the
St. George Needy Cases Fund

Dear Parents and Members of our St. George Community,
We hope you had a wonderful celebration of the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ and your New Year will be filled with
hope, joy and love. On behalf of Father Alex, the teachers and staff, we would like to thank our community for the
support and trust you have placed in us for providing an Orthodox Christian foundation of faith and values to your
children. We are truly proud of our religious education program and grateful to all our staff members for their efforts,
dedication and perseverance.
Our Religious Education program is proceeding for the 2010-2011 ecclesiastical year with vigor and enthusiasm.
Each class is following the established curriculum developed by the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America
Department of Religious Education, and participates in special projects that enhance their learning process. We offer
a music program that includes the teaching of many liturgical hymns and Christmas Carols. Each class participates in
the Divine Liturgy where their knowledge of our Holy Orthodox Church is reinforced.
As mentioned in our last edition, we have enhanced our program this year based on the excellent feedback we received
from our staff and parents last June. Our music program was expanded to include the teaching of additional liturgical
hymns. Our food drive now includes the participation of all grades and the inclusion of all our students’ artwork. An
exciting program is being provided to our Teen Rap students, who now have a permanent home on the second floor.
One of the most spiritually fulfilling events that we hold each year is the St John Chrysostom Oratorical Festival
where members of our youth (grades 7th through 12th) research, write and present their essays to the community on
subjects of our Orthodox Faith, Church and Heritage. In preparation for this festival that will be held in April, a
student workshop was held that introduced new students to the program and provided additional guidance to all others.
Additionally, a visit to a neighboring assistant living facility is currently being planned.
Our program held a very successful Food Drive for the Thanksgiving holiday. All collected food and artwork were
provided to the Piscataway ‘FISH Hospitality’ program that serves homeless women and families by providing meals
and other assistance to those in need within our community. I can’t tell you how thankful they were to receive these
goods; I was astounded by the number of women and men who were there to receive goods for the holidays. It was a
humbling experience!
Our annual Christmas Pageant was once again a great success and we thank the many participants for all their
efforts. We are aware that we live in a secular society where our church serves as the only place we can obtain
knowledge of our Savior Jesus Christ and our Christian faith. We truly would like to encourage all parents to bring
your children to us each Sunday. Each lesson of a given week builds on that of the following week, and thus the
importance of your children’s’ presence must be noted.
We pray that we continue to have a successful year.

The St. George GOYA would like to first wish everybody a Happy and Healthy New year.
On November 12-14 the GOYA took its annual trip to the Holy Cross Hellenic College in Boston, MA. The GOYA
spent the day at Faneuil Hall and later arrived at the college for evening mass and religious activities. The discussions
were very interesting and inspiring to all those who attended. Overall, the trip was both rewarding and fun!
We would also like to congratulate the entire GOYA and the advisors for another successful Taverna Night. This
year was the 8th annual Taverna Night hosted by the GOYA on Saturday, November 20. The proceeds went to the
Juvenile Diabetes Foundation. The GOYA would like to thank all of the donors for their food, decorations and time.
A special thanks goes to Mrs. Sophie Exarchakis and Mrs. Maria Makropoulos for chairing this event. The night was
a tremendous success and a wonderful experience for everyone.
Our December meeting was held on Sunday, December 5th. At this meeting there were signups for the trip to St.
Michaels on, Sunday December 12th. The GOYANS have been visiting St. Michael’s Home for some years now
where they sing Christmas Carols, dance and spend time with the elderly. After the visit we took a ride through Manhattan to see the Christmas Tree and then dinner in Astoria, Queens to end a day of fun.
The Bridges run was held on Saturday December 11th. The preparation was on Friday December 10th in Trenton
along with the Flemington, and Asbury Park GOYANS. The Bridges Outreach Program is a charity where we deliver
basic necessities such as food, clothing and toiletries to homeless men, women and children living in Newark, N.J.
We want to thank everyone that helped support this charity with their donations.
The annual Christmas dance was held on December 28th in Paramus, NJ.
The January meeting was held on Sunday January 2nd. This meeting gave the opportunity to the GOYANS to sign up
for the Valentine’s Day dance on Friday, February 4th, in Clifton. At this meeting all those participating in Sights and
Sounds were expected to hand in their literature pieces. Sights and Sounds practices also began in January.
Καλή Χρονιά, με υγεία και χαρά!
