Annual Metropolis of Boston Ministry Awards:

We are pleased to announce that the 2026 St. Nicholas recipients are Mandy and Nick Zervoglos. They are worthy of this recognition for their many years of service to our church and we congratulate them with our thanks. 

HELP BRING THE GOSPEL TO LIFE – DAILY:



We’re looking for volunteers to help Fr. George share a short daily Bible reading with our parish. If you have a heart for Scripture and a few minutes a day, this is a simple and powerful way to serve. Young adults especially encouraged and all are welcome. Interested? Reach out to Mary at office@stnicholaslex.org. 

Be counted - submit volunteer hours before it is too late!

Can you believe that St. Nicholas has accumulated over 4,500 hours of volunteer efforts? – Wow!!! I know there are more of you as I watch you give unselfishly of your time. Some of you may not give yourself enough credit – but however big or small, your willingness to pitch in is what makes this church a true community of faith.  

Importantly, by being part of the Lex250 volunteer efforts, you shine a positive light on St. Nicholas throughout Lexington and beyond. Things like volunteering for the Festival both supports our Church, and invites non-parishioners the opportunity to engage in a feel good event while helping us obtain needed funds. Those of you who ride the Pan Mass Challenge focus your care on lives cut too short, helping to fund prevention and treatment, and brings comfort to those left behind within the Parish and beyond. Imagin those of you who participate in Project Mexico, spending your free time traveling to a foreign country helping to build housing for a family who desperately needs a roof over their head. The children who serve on the altar, Goya, the teachers who volunteer to guide the children towards faith, the Parish Council, committee members, the families that feed us all after services so that we can take time for fellowship, altogether make this Church the welcoming community that we choose to be.

VO250 will end on July 4th. Whether you have given 1 hour or more, and no matter what your age, take a couple of minutes to submit your service and be recognized at part of the collective Lexington volunteerism (https://lex250.org/vo250/ ) honoring our county’s 250th Anniversary! Hours volunteered from April 1, 2025 through July 4th 2026 not previously provided should be included. Your name(s) and hour(s), for you (family members too if easier). along with any questions you might have, should be sent to Dawn McKenna: dawn@dawnmckenna.org.

Applicants must be graduating high school seniors enrolling in a 4-year accredited U.S. university this fall and a member of a Greek Orthodox parish. The submission deadline is June 26th, 2026.

Through the FAITH Scholarship for Academic Excellence program, FAITH awards merit-based scholarships to exemplary young people in the Hellenic-American Greek Orthodox community who achieve academic excellence and are actively involved in their church and community. To date, our FAITH Scholar network has grown to include nearly 1,000 young Greek-American leaders from across the United States who are making their campuses, parishes, communities and beyond a better place.
