Ever wonder what Kefi Means?

WELCOME

Maria Karalis, Chapter President

Welcome to another Ecclesiastical Year and an opportunity to support Philoptochos at Ascension! I’m excited to serve as President and continue the great work that Debbie Katsulis and the former Board began under her leadership.

This year, we will elevate our efforts through “Kefi and Kindness”.   We will embrace the spirit of renewal – in our hearts, homes and community. Just as olive trees and lavender bloom year after year, so too does our sisterhood deepen in joy (kefi), service (kindness) and spiritual growth.  The year ending 2024, Ascension had 406 stewards/families, and Philoptochos had 118 members.  I’d love to see more women of our Parish join us to fulfill the mission of Philoptochos and lift each other up in the process.

Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you are new (or have been around for a while) and want to learn more about our group.

With Love and Sisterhood,
Maria Karalis
