Ministries
Teen SOYO
In 1951, Metropolitan Antony Bashir, Primate of the Archdiocese of North America from 1936-1966, founded the Society of Orthodox Youth Organization (S.O.Y.O.) The letters of abbreviation originally stood for Syrian Orthodox Youth Organization.
Our Teen SOYO chapter is open to our middle and high school students. Dn. Damian serves as the spiritual advisor. If you’d like to get your child involved or contribute to this ministry, please contact the church office.
Women of St. Andrew
WOSA is a member chapter of Antiochian Orthodox Christian Women of North America (AOCWNA), founded in 1973 through the vision of His Eminence Metropolitan PHILIP (Saliba) as an organization of the Antiochian Orthodox Christian Archdiocese of North America.
One of the first organization to finalize plans for the icon they will sponsor, the Women of Saint Andrew, has chosen four saints to be depicted who exude what we all aspire to be. The four women chosen are Saints Perpetua, Felicitas, Nonna and Macrina the Younger. These women saints were wives, mothers, daughters, sisters, servants and leaders. They provide examples for the Women of Saint Andrew, and indeed everyone else, at every stage of life.
AMen
The Men’s Group at St. Andrew has seen much growth and activity as of late. They meet regularly for fellowship and acts of service around the church and community.
Volunteer
Each Sunday, volunteers are needed to assist with helping worshipers find seating, help keep the communion line moving in an orderly fashion, collect the offering, and monitor the candle stands.
Interested in volunteering? Email us at parishupdates@standrewlexington.org.
