The Golden Greek: Harry Agganis

The Golden Greek, Harry Agganis. His life and death are as inspiring as they are heartbreaking. A sports legend by his teens, he broke records in high school and college. He was finally living the dream as a pro baseball player when his bright light was unexpectedly snuffed out.

Memorializing Ma

Grieving a lost loved one doesn’t end with the funeral. My mother is still a part of our family, even though she’s been gone for ten years. Greeks (and all Orthodox) continue to remember, pray for, and celebrate our departed family members. Find out why, and how, we hold memorials year after year.
