Two Simultaneous Homeless Programs

On November 2/15, 2007, for the first time there were two soup kitchens running simultaneously in two separate cities: Tampa, Florida and Chicago, Illinois. This is a first for our Church. Leonidas Pittos organized the youth at the Parish of the Dormition of the Theotokos in Florida and they began running a soup kitchen in Tampa. May the Lord continue to give us the strength to expand the Holy Metropolis of America's Homeless Programs!

The Cathedral in New York's Homeless Program will have its next run into the city on Tuesday evening, November 27th. They still need donations of new undewear and socks.

It was started in 1997 by Father John Bockman, who was a missionary Priest formerly serving missions in Tennessee and Massachusetts since 1990. Father John served the faithful in Tucson and the surrounding area in his home Chapel until his repose in November of 2000. His wife, Presbytera Valerie, continued to make her home Chapel available for the mission, with clergy from Saint Nectarios Orthodox Church in Seattle and His Eminence, Metropolitan Moses of Toronto (then of Portland), visiting to provide the Divine Services.
