ΑΠΟΧΑΙΡΕΤΙΣΤΗΡΙΟ ΜΗΝΥΜΑ ΙΕΡΕΩΣ 

ΣΠΥΡΙΔΩΝΟΣ ΜΕΤΑΡΧΙΩΤΩΝ  


Με την Χάρη Του Θεού βρέθηκα για λίγο καιρό ανάμεσα στους Έλληνες της Αμερικής και συγκεκριμένα στο Σικάγο στην όμορφη οικογένεια του Μετοχίου των Αγίων Αθανασίου και Ιωάννου του Προδρόμου....Αυτόν τον λίγο καιρό ανακάλυψα την φλόγα της πίστης που συντηρούν οι Έλληνες για την Ορθοδοξία εδω στο εξωτερικό,  είδα την διατήρηση μίας ευλάβειας που έρχεται από τα παλαιότερα Ελληνικά χρόνια μέσα στην σύγχρονη κοινωνία της Αμερικής...Έγινα δέκτης ανιδιοτελούς αγάπης και προσφοράς προς το πρόσωπό μου και έγινα μέλος σε πολλές οικογένειες Ελλήνων και μη. Είχα την χαρά να γευτώ το νέκταρ αυτής της πνευματικής κυψέλης που έχει δημιουργήσει η αγνή ψυχή των ευλαβών προσκυνητών του Ιερού Μετοχίου και ένιωσα πνευματική αναπλήρωση στην αχρεία μου ψυχή....Η επιστροφή μου στην Ελλάδα έχει αυτές τις πνευματικές αποσκευές οι οποίες θα είναι εφόδιο για τον υπόλοιπο βίο μου....Ευχαριστώ για την στήριξη και την αγάπη....Εύχομαι ο Θεός να σας δίδει την φώτιση και την δύναμη να συντηρείται αυτή την φλόγα πίστεως και να την μεταδίδεται στις νέες γενεές,  τα χρόνια σας να είναι ευλογημένα και Παναγιοσκέπαστα.

EXHIBITION OF MARIUPOL AT COOK COUNTY TREASURER'S OFFICE

 

On June 22, 2023, a photo exhibition namely “MARIUPOL, Life on the Edge 

of Apocalypse,” was hosted by the Office of the Cook County Treasurer, Maria Pappas.

It depicted life in a Ukrainian city before and after the invasion by Russia. 

The Exhibit featured dozens of photos by Mariupol photographers depicting life 

in Mariupol, located off the northern coast of the Azov Sea.  Prior to the Russian 

invasion in February 2022, Mariupol was one of the largest towns in Ukraine, 

with more than 425,000 people. A brutal and unrelenting bombardment obliterated 

the once vibrant city, whose population has fallen below 100,000.  “The images are 

searing,” said Pappas. “The juxtaposition of the photos depicting the happy life before 

the war and the heartbreaking images of loss and suffering is truly unforgettable.”   

Mariupol and its surrounding region were once home to one of the largest and oldest 

groups of ethnic Greeks outside of Greece. Ethnic Greeks were the third-largest ethnic 

group after Ukrainians and Russians. The photos will be on display on the walls of the 

Treasurer’s office until August 25, 2023.

"Historical Echos”, a superb Exhibition at the Rosenthal Fine Art in 

Chicago, on June 21, 2023.  The internationally renowned art professor 

and sculptor, Dimitri Hadzi was the most distinguished sculptor of the

mythology, and theater. The work remained rooted in meaning drawn from 

his Greek heritage.  He was born in 1921 and passed away in 2016.  

Many guests visited the Exhibition and admired all of his displayed sculptures.

FATHER CHRISTOS J. VAGIAS 1935-2022

Rev. Father, Christos J. Vagias, a former priest of St. George Greek Orthodox Church in Chicago, passed away recently in the Village of Mikrospilia, his hometown, in Arta, Greece.  He served at St. George for over 35 years.  From the first moment at the church, he was determined to organize the community of St. George and he worked diligently with perseverance and self-sacrifice for all the years without counting effort and toil.  He worked for the Greek Christian ideals.  A brilliant preacher of the Greek language, he preached the word of God in plain Greek that was understood by the common people.  His sermon spoke to the hearts of the Greeks who gathered to hear him every Sunday.  Over the years, St. George and Father Vagias, synonymous with the Christian faith, unchanged from the influence of English, became a deacon for the preservation of the Greek-Christian faith. The expansion of the building complex with the addition of the Gymnasium and a Community for social events is due to the perseverance and hard work of Father Vagias. Under his guidance, the community of St. George raised funds and with the personal work of its members, a new building was formed that covered the constant needs of the community. Throughout his ministry, Father Vagias offered support, help, and comfort to anyone in need.  He is survived by Presbytera Konstantina, his three children, Ioannis, Sotiris, and Nektaria, and his grandchildren.

Remembering Nikos Pentzaropoulos, the amazing goalkeeper of the Panionios Football Team in Athens, Greece, who was highly recognized for his excellent ability and performance.  He was born in1927 and passed away in 1979 following his battle with cancer.  He started football at the age of thirteen in his neighborhood team and with the great talent he had, he was immediately placed in the first team of Panionios, and in1948 he was called to the National team. He was nicknamed “Hero of Tampere”, after a legendary performance with the Greek Olympic team in a match that took place in the city of Tampere in Finland during the Summer Olympic Games of 1952.  While in Tampere, he was given the chance to sign a contract and start training with the Inter Milan team.  He made the decision and in August 1952 he traveled to Milan, signed the contract, and started training with the Inter Team.  Unfortunately, certain things went wrong and Nikos, very disappointed with the circumstances, had to return to the Panionios team.  Apart from being a football player, Pentzaropoulos was also a field jumper with excellent performance, and also, played volleyball and basketball.
