Our Youth Commission strives to involve the youth of our parish in the various religious, social, cultural and athletic programs that are available; to actively promote the parish youth programs and to increase participation therein; to coordinate the calendar of activities among the various youth groups; to open the lines of communication among and between the leaders of the various youth groups; to seek parental input and assistance in the planning and operation of the various programs. The Youth Commission is lead by Vivian Casil and holds regular meetings every September, December, February and May, which are held in the Church House.

The parish has an active GOYA program, which allows the youth of our parish to be involved in many ways. Fellowship opportunities are provided by many social and athletic events; stewardship opportunities abound, through both the local community and other Orthodox channels including the OCMC and IOCC.  The Junior Orthodox Youth, or JOY, is the ministry for children of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America from ages 7-12. Since JOY is a ministry, the orientation and implementation of the program should reflect the Orthodox Christian Faith, Tradition and Life. JOY meets once a month either with a Faith Focus meeting, an arts and crafts,and/or social outing. JOY consists of sports which include soccer, basketball, and the Olympics which take place Memorial Day weekend. Please contact the JOY advisors by email with any questions or concerns; Stephanie Andris @ sandris@optonline.net and/or Vivian Paralikas @ Vivian@lithographics.net. HOPE is for children ages 4 through 6 and provides the opportunity for them to be together and participate in fun activities. Contact Kristen Mantikas (516) 674-3927 or gkm40@verizon.net to register or for more information. The Little Angels is for children from the ages of newborn to 4 years old.  It meets every Thursday at 10am in the Church nursery.  The children play, make crafts and even go on field trips throughout the year.   Contact Kristen Mantikas @ 516-674-3927 for more information.  Scouting: Our parish is proud to sponsor Boy Scout Troop #72 and Cub Scout Pack #72, community based units that do all the usual Scout things. In addition, they include activities special to an Orthodox sponsored unit – such as the annual Eastern Orthodox Scout Retreat, trips to Holy Cross Seminary in Massachusetts, preparation for the Orthodox awards, etc. Though we do not sponsor directly Girl Scouts, we do have our affiliated Girl Scout Troop in which our parishioners serve and participate.
