Memory Eternal! Dorothy Jane Nicholas, 103, the oldest member of The Order of St.Ignatius of Antioch, reposed peacefully in our Lord Jesus Christ on Oct. 1, 2026.

"Her remarkable life was one of faith, sacrifice, generosity, and steadfast support of the Church," said Dr. Ramzi Khairallah, The Order's North American Chairman. "As we remember Aunt Dorothy, we invite you to revisit her inspiring story and the legacy she leaves behind. Undoubtedly, her life story inspired many of our members."

Born April 21, 1923, Dorothy was one of the last surviving "Rosie the Riveters," building gun prisms for tanks and aircraft during World War II, helping America's soldiers fight overseas.

For years, Aunt Dorothy worked alongside her beloved niece, Robin Nicholas, at her business called "The Greek Escape" in Los Angeles. She was a fixture at St. Nicholas Antiochian Orthodox Cathedral of Los Angeles where she was awarded its Meritorious Service Award in 2018. She was also a fixture at Parish Life Conferences in the Diocese of Los Angeles and the West when Robin hosted Bible Bowls.

The executive board of The Order of Saint Ignatius of Antioch is blessed to take a part in the historic consecration and centennial celebrations at St. George Church in Fishers, Indiana from October 8–11. They also shared good news about the Order’s growth during the meetings of the Archdiocese Board of Trustees and Governing Council that same weekend.

The North American chairman, Dr. Ramzi Khairallah, reports an 8% net growth in membership with 290 inductions so-far in 2026, up from 2% increases in recent years. He credits a renewed commitment to recruitment and the steady growth of its online and social media presence. Through the generosity of its members, the philanthropic arm of the Archdiocese anticipates giving around $1.7 million to support its mission and charitable causes this year.

The Order anticipates a memorable 50th anniversary celebration from Nov. 20-22 in the New York and New Jersey area, which is open to members and non-members alike. There, the organization will debut its new Legacy Level where benefactors can contribute $50,000 – half would go to The Order’s endowments, and half for its immediate charitable causes.

Following the Hierarchal Divine Liturgy on Sunday morning, His Grace Bishop Thomas, The Order’s spiritual advisor, inducted and upgraded 20 members. Through their commitment and generosity, more children can attend summer camps, more young men can attend seminary and become priests, and more clergy and their wives can enjoy more dignified retirements.

Young Adults Are the Future of the Archdiocese

The future of our Church depends on investing in the next generation. By empowering young adults, encouraging their participation, and helping them understand the mission of the Church, we strengthen our community and build a foundation for generations to come.

When we give young adults the opportunity to lead, serve, and grow in their faith, the entire Archdiocese benefits.

Together, let’s support and inspire the next generation of faithful leaders.

🤝 The Church is strongest when we work together.

Supporting every department, ministry, and person isn’t just about getting things done—it’s about making sure every part has the support it needs to serve faithfully.

When we serve together, everyone has a role, every ministry matters, and we build up the church, the body of Christ.

Giving is never a loss.

When we give, we may feel like we’re giving something away—our time, our resources, our money, or our energy. However, true generosity has a way of giving back in ways that cannot always be measured.

When we give with love, we never truly lose.

Dr. Ramzi Khairallah, chairman of The Order of St. Ignatius of Antioch, speaks about how pride pointed at ourselves is the enemy of love. But if we flip it outward toward celebrating others, their ministries, and their good works, it becomes something beautiful.

Ambition is not about competition or jealousy. It's about chasing sainthood and walking toward Christ.

So, Dr. Ramzi encourages us to direct that ambition homeward by showing up for our parishes, filling the gaps, and serving one another like our souls depend on it. Because they do.

The Order of St Ignatius of Antioch supported PLCs with more money grants this year to ensure the success of the events that were sponsored by The Order, and to spread the awareness about the mission of The Order and help recruit more faithful.

In his address at the Gala event in Montreal, the North American Chairperson Dr. Ramzi Khairallah focused on how “Action speaks louder than words” and that our faith is about ACTION, which is in line with the Epistles of Saint Ignatius of Antioch. He also explained how The Order takes the responsibility of taking care of the future of the Archdiocese and anyone in need of help.

Many inductions/upgrades happened in different Dioceses lead by the Diocese of Ottawa (15) followed closely by the Diocese of Miami and the Southeast.

Not for recognition, but for awareness. The red ribbon worn by members of the Order isn’t a badge of honor it’s a call to action. It reminds us, and everyone who sees it, of the Order’s mission: to spread the word and put faith into action.

Thank you to every member who wore the cross and ribbon with pride. Every ribbon is a quiet invitation for someone to ask, “What is this for?” and a chance to answer with the Gospel in action.
