Message from Fr. Michael L. Pastrikos, Protopresbyter
Perseverance, Dedication, and Faith!
I hope by now everyone in the Community is back
to normal again. The summer months are over; the fall
season has come to reality. Days will start to get
shorter and nights longer. The New Ecclesiastical year
has begun and we are looking forward to a wonderful
and challenging New Year in the Church.
Our Church Organizations are back, having their
monthly meetings, and scheduling their future events
and activities. On October 2012 (Koinonia Article) I
wrote about what was happening in the Parish. We are
now 3 years later and new events and challenges are
facing us again. In our last issue of the September
Koinonia, if you read the presidents report on what we
have accomplished throughout this year, we have come
long away. Many thanks to a few people who really
understood the needs for our Community. Anyone who
reads this message can understand what progress has
come to our Parish. I don’t need to rewrite the script,
but if you are a concerned parishioner and came to
church you would automatically see the difference and
the great progress that we made. The members of the
parish Council along with myself, have worked very
hard during the year to promote a better, healthier,
spiritual environment for everyone in the Community.
We have done major renovations in all our buildings. The Plateia, the Fellowship Hall (Market), the
School building and the Church proper. I would like to
single out a few benefactors of the church that made
these renovations possible. Mr. & Mrs. Peter Angelos,
Mr.& Mrs. Gus Diakoloukas, Mr. Aris Melissaratos,
and in blessed memory Mr. Andy Koutsovasilis. With
their generous donations we were able to accomplish
the major tasks that were ahead of us, such as turning
the Fellowship Center into our New Bilingual Educational Center, removing old roofs and putting on new
ones. Installing all new air conditioning systems in the
Church, and School buildings. Revamping the down
stairs hall and stage. Waxing and buffing all the floors,
painting and adding the new carpet in the Plateia.
Painting the stairwells leading to the newly painted
Gymnasium. Installing photocopy machines in the
Church office and the Greek school office. Hopefully
by the end of the month we can begin renovating all the
bathrooms which have needed dire repairs and renovations. The list goes on and on. I would need an extra 2
pages just to list even the smaller things that were done
during the year.
We have come a long way since 2012, and we need
to continue this course of action, and guarantee that we
don’t go back to what we had to face in 2012. We all go
through some rough times in our lives but I believe that
these experiences that we faced in the past, made us
stronger in our belief and in our faith. We have opened
ourselves to greater challenges, but in order to succeed
we need to have our young people, our married couples
of the parish realize that they need to really step up to
the plate and make some changes in the way they view
their Community. We need people with managing
skills and accounting experience. We need a bookkeeper to help with the finances of the church. We need
people that have experience in computers and website
knowledge. There are so many parishioners out there
young and old, who continually express that they love
their church, but have done nothing to help their
church. Well now you can, all you have to do is say that
I want to help my church grow spiritually and financially. There is a saying “DON’T JUST SAY THE
WORDS OUT YOUR MOUTH, BRING OUT ACTION FROM YOUR WORDS.” In other words, don’t
just say it, DO IT.
It’s time that we realize that we can’t keep asking
the same people to be responsible for everything in the
Church. We need other people to step up in and help
those who have done the work for years. The young
people of the parish between ages 20-40, need to get
their act straight and volunteer their services to the
church. Most of our young people grew up in this parish. You went through JOY, Sunday School, Greek
School, GOYA, Dance Groups, and so on. All of you
must have good memories of growing up here at St.
Nicholas. I continuously hear wonderful stories that the
young people tell me about how they grew up in
GreekTown. Many of you got married at St. Nicholas
and you are now raising your children in the same tradition hopefully.
But did you forget where you came from? Did you
forget while you were raised in this Community, others took on the responsibility to see fit that St. Nicholas would stay around for the next generations? Well
now it’s your turn to step up and help your church grow
and prosper for the next 60 years. In every monthly

MESSAGE FROM THE
PARISH PRESIDENT
MHNYMA TOY ¶ƒO∂¢ƒOÀ
Δ∏™ ∫Oπ¡OΔ∏Δ∞™
Dear Parishioners,
This month, I would like to talk
about Stewardship. Stewardship is
more than giving money. The word
stewardship comes from the Greek
word oikenomous, which means
someone who manages a household.
The person does not own the household but manages it. The Stewards of
ancient times, were trusted with everything from seeing that the floors were clean, to the finances
and to the public face of the household. Joseph, the carpenter, is good example of a Steward.
We are not the owners but have been trusted with valuable resources, such as our personal talents, skills, money,
time, the gospel, creation of another human being and with
the responsibility to care for everything, the planet, our
family, friends, strangers, the church, all for the sake of
God’s purposes in this world.
Most often Stewardship is thought of fundraising to pay
off the building and to cover the priest’s salary. Instead, we
should see that we are trustees of talents, gifts, time, treasure, culture and the values we share in the society around
us. We all live in the secular world, where our faith is constantly being put to the test.
I challenge you to think about Stewardship in your daily
life. For example, my profession is homebuilding. The major issues that I face in my daily work are delays due to
weather, rising material costs, and issues with subcontractors. What difference does my faith make to how I address
these issues? A big difference-I pray that the house that I
am building will one day provide shelter for a family in our
community. Maybe, I will know this family. But as a Steward, I want to hand over a quality built home, not a substandard home created by taking too many shortcuts. This
week as the television blasted news of Hurricane Joaquin,
I prayed that it would pass us by. But I relied on the talents
that God gave me to prepare for the worse. I prayed for
the patience to handle whatever the storm pummeled
down on us. As I read the newspaper this morning, I wonder where were the Stewards during General Motors faulty
ignition switch crisis and the Volkswagen emission scandal?
In my work as Parish Council President, I pray every
day for humility, patience and the grace of God to call others to serve. We have a great Parish Council team, but I
pray daily for more parishioners to hear God’s call to serve
and for them to have trust in God that they will be able to
manage their responsibilities at home, at work and still
give of their time, and talent to the church in whatever
capacity they choose.
So, I ask you- What do you do for a living? What are
the major issues you face in your daily work or at home?
What difference does your faith make to how you address
those issues? How can we pray for your ministry in the
workplace or at home? Please share how your faith makes
a difference in your life to your co-workers, family, friends,
and the strangers that we bump into at the gym, grocery
store, or in parking lot. We are listening and are here to
pray with you.
In Christ, Demos Anastasiades,
Parish Council President

OCTOBER 2015
John A. Demetriades
We have been saddened to learn of the passing of our
dear friend and past president of Saint Nicholas, John A.
Demetriades. John is remembered as the effective and energetic leader who took charge, not wavering, and made
decisions to benefit Saint Nicholas and the Community at
aarge. He cared about individuals and never pre-occupied
to offer help and advice. Among his achievements as president, serving of total 15 years in two separate terms, he
used innovative ideas, which
enabled Saint Nicholas to purchase the Lot on Ponca Street
- known as "the Plateia".
Those of us who visited
John in recent years while he
resided in assisted living facilities witnessed his dynamic personality, leadership quality,
and the love and respect given
him by residents and staff
alike. These qualities were a
part of John's being since early
childhood as written by his
brother George in the Herald
Newsletter of the AHEPA
Lord Baltimore Chapter, when
John was named AHEPAN of
the month in March 1992.
John was born on July 26,
1930 in Weirton, West Virginia and raised in NYC where
the family moved shortly
thereafter. As a youngster he
was given the responsibility of
household chores and caring
for his two younger brothers,
George and James while his parents worked during the
Great Depression. He quickly became a respected leader
among his peers as he organized various games in the
neighborhood. John was named Valiant Victorian for his
class when he graduated grade school.
When the family moved to Baltimore in 1945, John
worked with his father at the restaurant on Newkirk Street
and Eastern Avenue. He organized the Greek boys in the
neighborhood to play basketball with the Annunciation
team and travel to the games out of state and had gotten
his Father to sponsor the "Nick's Sandwich Shop" basketball team.
In 1949 John enlisted in the U.S. Air Force and traveled
by motorcycle with a friend to Illinois to do so. Having
served his tenure he returned to Baltimore and continued
working with his father; he was active in GAPA, and was
on the first Board of the newly established Saint Nicholas
Parish. He worked with the youth of GOYA and was always available to listen and help those who approached
him.
In 1962 he married his beloved Fay Walker who became
his chief supporter in life especially when John undertook
Church projects. After the restaurant failed in 1961 he continued his college education and got a job with the Postal
Service where in one year he was promoted to management P.R. to the Postmaster of Baltimore. He retired in
1976 giving up a promotion in Washington D.C.
At this time he once again became very involved in
Church affairs; participating in activities that promoted the
welfare of our Community and our City. John became an
active AHEPAN in 1970 and
as such began Americanization
classes on his own. By 1992 he
had helped about forty-five
Greek immigrants become
U.S. citizens.
John was known for being
a man of his word, his word
was his bond; and he never
went back on any commitment. He was active in Church
activities not only in the leadership position but always
working behind the scene
whenever help was needed. He
not only chaired the annual
Greek Festival but took an active part in all annual facts of
the event for many years.
John worked closely with
Mayor Schaefer and civic
leaders and the councilmen of
our area and was appointed to
the state scholarship committee. The Archdiocese appointed him to the Ecclesiastical committee for this area.
The Saint Nicholas Community honored him with a
spectacular "THANK YOU" party to celebrate, in a small
way our appreciation for all of his good works.
In 1991 John and Fay moved to New Port Richey,
Florida, where they lived happily until Fay's passing. In recent years as John's health was failing he resided in Sunrise
Florida, near his attentive daughter Brenda Collison and
her son David. John's caring manner endeared him to those
around him. His opinions and directions were sought, just
as they had been throughout his life. Those at the facility
appreciated his positive up beat outlook.
We will miss not visiting with him each winter and know
that his deep faith in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ has
him in the green pastures of Heaven with his beloved Fay.
We invite all his friends and relatives to come and pray
for John's soul on October 25th, 2015, during his 40day memorial service which will be chanted here, at Saint Nicholas Church.
May God grant him eternal life!! ∞Ȉӛ· ÙÔ˘ ÌÓ‹ÌË - Ó·

Message from Fr. Michael L. Pastrikos, Protopresbyter
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1
newsletter, we always make sure to put out a “Wish List.” And in that
wish list we always ask parishioners to donate or volunteer their services to the Church. We always need volunteers to be responsible and
to be dedicated to their Church. It’s sad that with a parish like ours,
and with 980 families, that we have to pay people to come to the
church and clean or help out when help is needed. I understand that
we have our noses so high that we can’t look down and see the needs
of the parish. We need our young professionals to stop standing on
the sidelines, get involved and make change happen in your Community. In our parish, we have Architects, Contractors, Engineers, Financial Planners, Project Managers, Accountants, CPAs and Consultants. Teachers, Doctors, Nurses, Lawyers, Technicians, Electricians,
Plumbers and Handymen qualified to help the Community grow.
WHERE ARE YOU? That’s what I keep asking? Where are those
talented professionals to come and volunteer their services in the different capacities that we have. It’s sad that in today’s society people
believe that all the problems of the world can be taken care of by
other people. We don’t have to go any further, and I apologize if
I offend anyone, but we have those people with the same beliefs
in our parish. They say the same thing. We don’t have to worry;
others will take care of the problems of the church. And mostly
what you hear from those people, sorry I wish I could but I don’t
have the time. Just imagine if everyone in the Community gave a
little bit of time to God’s home, this world would be a better place
to live in, raise our families with Christian morals and values.
Remember God gave all His children the gift of many talents. To
some he gave more to other less. Let’s use those talents together
to help our Church and Community grow and prosper.
Remember the word “WE”! We together as caring people can
make a difference by being the example for others to follow. Let’s
take that giant step in our lives and change the way we deal with
life’s problems. Remember, “We can make a difference; all it
takes is one simple effort.” Have a great month!

SPECIAL GENERAL ASSEMBLY MEETING
WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 14, 2015
A Special General Assembly Meeting has been scheduled for

Autumn Regular Assembly Meeting, that was scheduled for September 20th, 2015 was postponed due to lack of participation.
Please mark this date on your calendar and make sure that your
presence is felt at this Special General Assembly. Many important
issues concerning the future of our parish will be discussed. So,
please make it a point to be there, we need your participation and
support.
Looking forward to seeing everyone there.

GUIDELINES FOR RESPECTFUL WORSHIP
As we begin a new ecclesiastical year we are reminded of Church
etiquette. Please be mindful of those worshipping: greetings and
conversations should be carried on after the services, outside the
sanctuary. Serving snacks to youngsters, gum chewing, crossing legs
are not appropriate behaviors in our Church. Appropriate dress
does not include micro-mini skirts. It need not be stated that texting,
checking emails, and phone messages are not permitted when one
is in the sanctuary.
During Church services we are not to sing when the prayers or
phrases are to be chanted by the priest because the "echo" effect is
bothersome to the priest (and to the other worshippers). If unsure,
reference should be made to the passage marked "priest" in the liturgy book; the role of parishioners is marked "people". As adults
we should always remember that we are the role models of the children, especially those of us who are in positions of authority. What
they observe becomes their learned behavior.
Probably the most important duty that we each have as worshippers attending church services is to do all that is in our power to see
that a proper decorum and atmosphere is maintained so that all of
the congregation is able to pray sincerely, peacefully and meaningfully.
It is with this fact in mind that we have set forth the following
guidelines:
Upon entering the Church, at all times, but especially during services an individual should remember that he or she is in the House
of God. Reverence and good manners are required so as not to disturb those who are already engaged in prayer, but, even more importantly, as an expression of sincere faith and awareness of the
presence of the Lord. No irrelevant conversations should take place,
either in the Narthex or in any part of the Church.
According to actual church service procedures, each and every
member of the congregation is required to be seated in the pews at
the beginning of the service. It is only by leniency that anyone is
allowed to enter the Church once the services have begun. Thus it
behooves us not to take undue advantage of this leniency.
There are several parts of the service during which no one should
be moving about. Wherever a person happens to be at these moments, he or she should stop and stand reverently, until the proper
time to proceed. These parts of the service are:
1. The Procession of the Priest and Altar Boys with the Gospel;
2. The reading of the Gospel;
O∫ΔøμƒπO™ 2015
K O I N ø N I ∞

COMMUNITY NEWS ✧ ∫Oπ¡OΔπ∫∞ ¡∂A
3. The Cherubic Hymn and the Great Procession of the Priest and
Altar Boys with the Holy Gifts;
4. The recitation of the Nicene Creed (in which the entire congregation should participate);
5. The prayers of offering "Take, eat..." and the prayers of the consecration of the Holy Gifts;
6. The Sermon;
7. Any special services (memorial services, processions, prayers).
One basic rule to follow is that, whenever the Priest is facing the
people or outside of the altar, either with the censer or giving the
blessing, everyone should stand wherever they are.
Please remember that the Parish Council members and the ushering staff are required to keep order during services, and all should
follow their instructions at all times.
Thank you.
Wishing you a blessed year of brotherhood.
