At the conclusion of the Christmas Liturgy a symbolic “Mortgage Burning” was held honoring Mr. John Rapp and Dr. George Yancopoulos - two individuals who made the purchase of the North Avenue parcel possible.
The loan provided to the community for the purchase by Mr. Rapp was paid in full just prior to Christmas this year with a generous donation by Dr. Yancopoulos. Participants included Fr. Nick, John Rapp, Costa Papademetriou, former past president and Dino Yotides, current Parish Council President.
