23.01.2022 WATCH: His Eminence Archbishop Makarios addresses the youth at the Orthodox Christian Society on the annual theme for 2020, Bear one another’s burdens. (Gal 6:2) https://youtu.be/ssdgqwfsnzA

21.01.2022 Dear Parishioners, His Eminence Archbishop Makarios is encouraging all our faithful who are between 18 and 70 years of age to donate blood. As a member of St Ioannis Greek Orthodox Church Parramatta, you already know what amazing things we can achieve when we work together. Now, we’ve got a new challenge on our hands: the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of Australia Blood Drive.... We want to save 300 lives through blood donation between 24 October and the 15 December but we’ll need your help. After all, it’ll take a team to hit the target. We know you’re busy, so let’s keep it simple. Book a donation here https://www.donateblood.com.au (Note the closest donor centre for most of us will probably be the Parramatta Donor Centre which is next to Woolworths in Rosehill) Make sure your life giving donation counts towards St Ioannis Greek Orthodox Church Parramatta, click here https://www.donateblood.com.au/lifeblood-teams/join and then click on "Join a Team", then click the top right hand corner: Teams > My Team and then start typing St Ioannis... You can even check to see if we are the leading Parish https://my.donateblood.com.au//cha/details/challenge_id/49 Can’t donate right now? That’s ok. You can still help! Simply spread the word and help get the rest of your team on board.

20.01.2022 This week for challenging Tuesday, we challenge you to reach out to a friend, family member or even someone you haven’t spoken to in a while, and let them know ...that they are appreciated and loved. Or even give a stranger a compliment - just make someone’s day. You will never know what is going on in someone else’s life so see Christ in everyone and treat them with love and respect. #ChallengingTuesday

What do the saints have to say about the next life? Experiencing Heaven while on earth. God takes us at the perfect time. These questions were anonymously sent in by young Orthodox Christians.

10.01.2022 We would love for you to support the Holy work Father Themi does in Sierra Leone with the Charity Paradise 4 Kids - P4K "COVID-19 has isolated Fr Themi in Sierra Leone. This means his annual expedition to Australia, the USA or anywhere else is basically impossible. But ... what is possible is that we can do something from the very chair we are sitting in to help Fr Themi continue the wonderful work he does with the poor in transforming lives each and every day.... Buy your ticket, tickets or even a table of 10 for a Virtual Dinner, with the above PayPal buttons; and when you check out you will be redirected to a pre-recorded video of Fr Themi sitting down eating his dinner with his sister Mary in Sierra Leone."

01.01.2022 Each week, in addition to ‘Challenging Tuesday’, we will be posting a quote that we hope inspires you to learn more about your faith and grow your relationship ...with God. Especially this month as Christmas is approaching, and we are all so busy trying to find the perfect gifts for our family and friends, it is so easy to forget the true meaning of Christmas and the gifts God has given us each and every day. Our own mind and thoughts can often be too loud and quickly spiral out of control, so it is so important to sometimes stop and remember God. This short prayer can help us connect with our God and give Him room to communicate with us and give us some peace. #faithfulfriday
