This signature ministry of the SF Metrop- olis Philoptochos supports the 46 students and seminarians of the Me- tropolis who are attending Hellenic College Holy Cross Seminary. Over 250 guests gathered for the fes- tive Advent event, including our be- loved Metropolitan Gerasimos, Rev- erend Fathers, Presbyteres, students, and seminarians. The luncheon fea- tured a beautiful Christmas bou- tique and a drawing for a stunning Louis Vuitton tote bag. Guests also enjoyed a world-class vocal per- formance of American and Greek Christmas carols, as well as an in- spiring interview with four students and seminarians speaking on their life on campus and their individual awakening to the works of our Lord and Church. Wishing All a Blessed New Year. With Agape, Alexandra Mouzas SF Metropolis Philoptochos Sponsored Announcement
