Easter Greeting

A Message for the Holy Easter

04/23/2008

On behalf of the PanHellenic Scholarship Foundation Board of Directors, Advisory Board and Academic Committee, I extend best wishes to you and your families for a meaningful and joyous Easter this year.

The days of Holy Week and Easter bring great excitement and deep emotion to all of us of the Greek Orthodox Faith. The double message of the Crucifixion and Resurrection of Christ has a significant meaning for all of us Hellenes. It is the message of Hope that rises from the Sacrifice.

Guided by our religion and respecting our traditions, the PanHellenic Scholarship Foundation's mission is to facilitate the development of Greek Americans into outstanding citizens through the support and advancement of their education, and by continuing to practice the time-honored principles of Hellenism.

In this way, Greek Americans, advanced through education and faithfully guided by the values of their upbringing, are encouraged to participate actively and contribute meaningfully to the ongoing development of American society. In doing so, they distinguish not only themselves, but all Hellenes.

Let all of us, therefore, work united to ensure the success of all our ethnic, religious and community activities; let us sacrifice personal ambitions and egos for the sake of the generations to come. With these thoughts I express my hope for our objectives to be achieved, as is the hope for life with the Resurrection of Christ.

Happy Easter
