Yesterday, January 16, 2025, Archbishop Elpidophoros of America and staff of the Archdiocese, Leadership 100, and National Philoptochos gathered for their annual holiday celebration at Kyma Restaurant in New York City.
Archbishop Elpidophoros thanked the dedicated staff members for their commitment to our Church, remarking that “we work for God” and that thus that work is “part of the plan to serve and save this world.” The Archbishop also thanked Kyma Restaurant for hosting this annual gathering and proceeded to cut the Vasilopita, distributing a piece to each person.
Throughout the luncheon, staff members laughed and chatted, reminiscing on old memories and making new, interdepartmental connections.
