Philoptochos (meaning “friend of the poor” in Greek) is the philanthropic ministry of women in the Greek Orthodox Church, dedicated to charitable outreach and service both within our parish and in the wider community.

The mission of the Philoptochos Society can be summarized as follows:
- To help those in need
- To promote the purposes of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America
- To preserve Greek Orthodox faith and traditions
- To promote participation in the Greek Orthodox community
- To do it all with discretion, courtesy, and kindness
What We Do
Through fundraising, outreach, and hands-on service, the ladies of Philoptochos support those in need — offering assistance to individuals and families facing hardship, contributing to national and international charitable causes, and helping preserve the traditions of our Orthodox faith for generations to come.
