Greek School 2014 -2015
Hello Parents,
Don’t worry, the summer is not over yet but we need
to start planning for the Greek School start in
September. Therefore, Greek School will begin again
for the 2014-15 school year on Saturday September
13th. Catechism classes will begin a week later on
September 20th. Next week I will send out another
email with more details and the calendars for
September and October.
As you all know, many families have come to Regina
from Greece. Some of those families have young
children that we would be more than happy to have in
our Greek School. If you know a family with children
between the ages of 3 to 11, give them my
information (306-581-9823) or let me know and I will
try to approach them.
Thank you and more updates to come soon,
Petros Aiginitis, Principal - Greek School
Ladies Of Philoptochos Society
Next Philoptochos meeting will be on: September
15th 2014 at 7:30 p.m., at the community hall.

Church Renovations
The renovations to our Church Hall are almost
complete. We have added an interior weeping tile
system and two sump pumps to prevent water from
seeping into the basement. We have replaced the
flooring with a new Luxury Vinyl Tile and new stair
treads will be installed shortly. We have added a
handicap accessible washroom and we have
completely renovated the two existing washrooms.
Due to unforeseen circumstances the completion of
the work has been delayed resulting in the Church
being unavailable for the month of August. We
apologize for the inconvenience. Within the next two
months we will paint the Hall, south entrance and
stairwells to give them a fresh look.
The cost of the renovation is $125,000.00. We thank
GOYA for their donation of $2,000 towards the
renovation project and welcome any and all donations.
