2026 STEWARDSHIP PROGRAM
As we move out of 2025 and into 2026, I would like to reflect on our Stewardship program. Our final income for 2025 was approximately $540,000. This was the highest amount achieved by our Stewardship program and we greatly appreciate our community’s efforts to support our Cathedral. The 2025 results closed the gap with our budget of $565,000 and we continue to strive to fully meet our Church budget via the Stewardship program without needing to borrow from the Festival proceeds which are intended for capital projects. 
  • The AVERAGE annual contribution needed to meet our budget obligation is $1,440 ($120/mo.)
  • Please keep in mind this monthly amount is less than what most people pay for cell phone or cable service each year.
  • The Leadership Stewardship contribution is $2,300 and above
  • Regular contributions (i.e. weekly/monthly) are preferred as they help sustain the monthly operating costs of our Cathedral.
  • Consider increasing your previous year commitment by 6+% in line with the increased operating expenses of our Cathedral.
The Church should be our priority for financial charitable contributions to support the numerous programs of our community. We have an active, vibrant community that will continue to grow and flourish with your continued support.
From everyone who has been given much, much will be required, and from the one who has been entrusted with much, even more will be asked - Luke 12:48
 

  • Our local AHEPA chapter gave us the following announcement:
    “The Order of AHEPA was founded over 100 years ago by visionary and dedicated Greek Americans who wanted to perfect the Hellenic ideals of education, philanthropy, civic responsibility, family, and individual excellence. For the last century, Chapter 64 has done its part to advance those virtues here in Central Pennsylvania.


    Today, Sunday June 7, 2026, we will celebrate 100 years of service and brotherhood at Holy Trinity Cathedral in Camp Hill. Immediately after the church services, we will host a Centennial Celebration in the church social hall. The agenda for this celebration will include lunch, speakers, presentation of proclamations from civic and AHEPA leaders, and the presentation of the AHEPAN OF THE CENTURY honor to one of our Chapter 64 Brothers." 


    We have a Suzuki electric piano that was previously in the Philoptochos Room before it was replaced by the white piano we have now. We have no use for this piano anymore and are offering it to anyone in the community that has a need for it. All we ask is that they provide a donation to the Church in return. Please respond by today if interested.'

    Graduation Sunday will be held TODAY, Sunday, June 7th, 2026.   All High School Graduates and College/University Graduates will be honored, and scholarships will also be awarded that day.  Please attend.

    Vacation Church School will be held on Sunday, June 7th -  Tuesday, June 9th.   We ask that children 4 years old till 6th graders please join us from 5:30pm – 8pm. Worship, Lesson, Crafts, Music & Games will be held. A Meal will be served promptly at 6pm.  Topic:  Heroes of Faith:  The Apostles of Christ.  You may pick up your children at 8pm.  Registration form to come. Please see attached flyer.
     

    ARCHDIOCESE CLERGY-LAITY Those interested in volunteering or learning more about the upcoming Clergy-Laity in Cleveland please see the attachments with the email.  They need help in all areas of the Clergy-Laity. With your vital role it will be an overall success of this important gathering. Since this is in our own Pittsburgh Metropolis, we all should try to help by volunteering or donating. 


    Please note that persons wanting to have Altar flowers for the Memorials in Church the cost is $75 payable to the Church. Those persons wishing to sponsor the Coffee Hour in memory of their beloved  ones the cost to the Philoptochos is $50 and up.
