Exhortation of His All Holiness Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew at the Orthodox Young Professional Gathering - Speeches - Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America
"As Ecumenical Patriarch, and serving the Church on the Throne of Saints John Chrysostom, Gregory the Theologian and Photios the Great for these thirty years – longer than some of you have been alive – we have gained a depth and breadth of experience that we never anticipated, growing up on the lovely island of Imvros, my birthplace. We came from the small local community of village, Ἅγιοι Θεόδωροι, to serve the Universal Church with humility, and it is to humility that I call you today, ταπεινοφροσύνη."

Archiepiscopal Encyclical for the Commemoration of OXI Day - Encyclicals - Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America
There are still some alive in our communities who remember this time. They are fading with the years, so we must do all that we can to honor them, their heroism, and their sacrifice. That is why we commemorate OXI Day throughout our sacred Archdiocese, and we ask for our communities to celebrate the Doxology for the Day. Our collective act of memory is what connects us to this “greatest generation,” and reminds us of the price of freedom.

How Camp Has Already Prepared You For The Pandemic
Sometimes at camp, campers and Staff have to adapt to guidelines and schedules they aren't necessarily used to. However, these ultimately allow everyone to thrive at camp and maximize their time there. In this video, Ionian Village's Director of Support and Outreach and school Social Worker Marissa Garoufalis dives into how we can apply camp experience to the current pandemic in order to disconnect, experience, and ultimately rejuvenate during this time. The summer of 2019 marked the first time a mental health professional was officially part of the Ionian Village team. Schools around the country are pouring resources into mental health and wellness programs. A real need has arisen in the last decade for children and young adults to have access to professionals in this field. Ionian Village has been at the forefront of this trend, working with Marissa to develop and refine her role and how it can be implemented at camps across our Archdiocese. Last summer she led portions of Staff orientation and spent significant time training them on how to handle situations involving their campers and themselves. In this video from The Office of Ionian Village, Marissa introduces her knowledge, her role at IV, and connects shared summer camp experiences to some of what we are experiencing now during the pandemic in order to disconnect, experience, and then rejuvenate during this time.

"Your Eminence: you have stood in the breach for all of us in these crises of faith and conscious. Where there is weakness, you have brought strength. Where there is fear, you have brought courage. Where there is anxiety, you have brought comfort. And where there has been a vacuum of leadership, you have brought moral and spiritual bravery to the fore, as you, like our Holy Ecumenical Patriarch, fear only God alone."

I’m so proud to announce that my mother just released her second book:
GROWING UP GREEK IN THE BRONX, During the Great Depression and World War II.
If anyone is interested, is available on Amazon:
https://www.amazon.com/Growing-Greek-Bronx-During-Depression/dp/0578676478/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=GROWING+UP+GREEK+IN+THE+BRONX%2C+During+the+Great+Depression+and+World+War+II&qid=1610033400&s=books&sr=1-1
More about the book:
Join author Mary Ziavras in this sweet, nostalgic memoir of the 1930s and 1940s as she recounts how her beloved family and neighbors fared in their Bronx tenements despite the Great Depression.
Her short, lighthearted recollections offer a glimpse into their colorful lives and ongoing daily struggle to earn a living. The innocent days of trolley cars, Philco Radios, and the iceman are brought to life again through her artful storytelling.
Cocooned in the generous love of her extended family, Young Mary discovers the value of hard work, the tapestry of her proud Greek lineage, and the powerful stories of her ancestors who desperately fled Eastern Thrace, seeking to save their immigrant culture and Christian beliefs.
