Greek Australian households in financial need will receive an Easter Hamper in a joint effort between the Greek Orthodox Parishes and the Greek Welfare Centre Victoria. For over two decades the Greek Welfare Centre Victoria of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of Australia has taken the leading role in organising and co-ordinating an Easter and Christmas Food Hampers Appeal with the solid support of the Parish Network of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of Australia and the Greek-Australian Community of Victoria.
The Greek Welfare Centre once again calls upon the Greek-Australian community to demonstrate their ‘
filotimo’ (φιλότιμο) and contribute as much as they are able. Any non-perishable food items, are welcome.

The Organisational Council for Greek National Day is made up of representatives from all of Victoria’s major Greek Organisations and has been busy planning and programming the events to commemorate the 200th Anniversary of the 1821 Greek Revolution.
The 25 March 1821 commemoration is of religious and national importance for Hellenism. Greeks around the globe celebrate the Annunciation of Our Lady (Evangelismos) as well as the proclamation of the Modern Hellenic State 200 years ago – a very important milestone.
This Commemoration of the Bicentenary of Modern Greece gives the Greek Australian community of Victoria, the Paroikia, the opportunity to promote, educate and enhance the knowledge and understanding of what happened in 1821 to our third, fourth and subsequent generations of Greek Australians. In this way, we can ensure the significance of the important historical event is not lost.
