45th Anniversary 2026 Winter Gala

Panaghia of Island Park

45th Anniversary Winter Gala

January 31st, 2026 


 

The 2026 Winter Charity Gala marked a historic and defining moment for our parish. With a clear mission to purchase a neighboring property and take the first meaningful steps toward expanding our facilities for the benefit of our youth, this year’s Gala became more than a celebration — it became a catalyst for growth.

This initiative represents the first major advancement for our church in many years. Through the spiritual guidance and leadership of Fr. George Kazoulis, together with the dedicated efforts of the Parish Council and the faithful support of our community, what once seemed like a distant dream has now become a reality.

We extend our heartfelt congratulations to all of our honorees, whose example, commitment, and love continue to inspire us all. We also offer our sincere gratitude to everyone who supported the event — whether through a sponsorship, pledge, journal ad, or simply by attending. Every contribution played a meaningful role in helping us achieve this important goal.

The success of this Gala reflects the strength, unity, and shared vision of Panaghia of Island Park as we move forward into a new chapter of growth, opportunity, and blessings for generations to come.
