Philoptochos

Saints_Kosmas_and_DamianosWith the help and guidance of our patron saints Kosmas and Damianos, the Philoptochos Society of St. John the Baptist church has provided service to those in need since 1954. 

A member of the U.S. National Philoptochos Society, our Philoptochos works tirelessly to aid our community and beyond.

Philoptochos is open to all all women of our parish.  Men many also join as associate members. 

 

Mission

The mission of our Philoptochos follows that of the National Society:

  • To aid the poor, the destitute, the hungry, the aged, the sick, the unemployed, the orphaned, the imprisoned, the widowed, the handicapped, the victims of disasters, to undertake the burial of impoverished persons and to offer assistance to anyone who may need the help of the Church through fund raising efforts; and
  • To promote the charitable, benevolent, and philanthropic purposes of the church through instructional programs, presentations, lectures, seminars and other educational resources;
  • To preserve and perpetuate Orthodox Christian concepts and the Orthodox Christian Family, and through them, to promote the Greek Orthodox Faith and traditions, in accordance with its doctrines, canons, discipline, divine worship, usages and customs;
  • To promote participation in the activities of the Greek Orthodox community, with the cooperation of the Parish Priest and the Parish Council.

The charitable work of the Society shall be performed with discretion, courtesy and kindness.
