Metropolitan Savas, the ruling bishop of The Greek Orthodox Metropolis of Pittsburgh, has requested each parish to select two parishioners for their many years of dedicated labor and outstanding service to their church, having given spiritual, material and moral support and are thereby "worthy" of special recognition by His Eminence, Metropolitan Savas.
Net proceeds from the banquet benefit the Metropolitan’s Benevolence Fund.
William Manus and Maria Hough join previous St. Photios Award recipients: Catherine Alatsis, Kaliopi Apodiakos, KC Bagiatis, Jim Georgagis, Freeda Kootsouradis, and Angelo Loulis in being recognized for their dedicated stewardship to the St. Spyridon Church in Monessen.
Michael Galis is president of the Parish council. Other officers include John Fafalios, vice president; John Argirakis, treasurer and Nikki Mornak, secretary.
