Μια όμορφη βραδιά, κατά την οποία η Φιλόπτωχος Αδελφότητα της Ελληνορθόδοξης Αρχιεπισκοπής Καναδά υποδέχθηκε τον Σεβασμιώτατο Αρχιεπίσκοπο Καναδά κ. Απόστολος , με την ευκαιρία της ανάληψης της νέας του ποιμαντικής διακονίας στην Ελληνική Διασπορά του Καναδά.

Φιλόπτωχος = φιλανθρωπία, συμπόνια, αγάπη, ελπίδα.

Η ομάδα του «Heritage» απευθύνει θερμό καλωσόρισμα στον Σεβασμιώτατο κ. Αποστολος. Είθε ο Θεός να συνεχίσει να σας ενδυναμώνει και να σας ευλογεί.

Στις κυρίες της Φιλοπτώχου Αδελφότητας της Ελληνορθόδοξης Αρχιεπισκοπής Καναδά —τόσο τις παλαιότερες όσο και τις νυν— εκφράζουμε τις ευχαριστίες μας για την προσφορά σας. Είθε ο Θεός να σας ευλογεί για την ουσιαστική στήριξη που παρέχετε στις ενορίες όπου διακονείτε, καθώς και για τη συμπόνια που δείχνετε προς τους συνανθρώπους μας που έχουν ανάγκη.

Fotios Kamperogiannis (Frank), aged 91, of Toronto, Ontario, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, November 4, surrounded by his family and loved ones.

Frank was a devoted husband to the late Toula (2026) for 62 wonderful years and a loving father to Nick and Vicki. He was also a cherished brother, brother-in-law, uncle, and godfather. He was deeply loved by his family and friends.

Born in Arcadia, Greece, Frank made his way to Canada in 1959. Shortly after arriving in Toronto, he met Toula, with whom he would share a beautiful life. Together, they built a home and family filled with love, laughter, and warmth.

Known for his larger-than-life personality, generous spirit, and love of a good time, Frank was truly the life of the party. He took great pride in bringing people together and was often the one to organize family gatherings and celebrations. In 1967, he was among the Greek pioneers who opened Astoria Bakery on the Danforth, which became an important gathering place and stepping stone for many Greeks newly arriving in Toronto. Frank was happiest surrounded by family and friends, sharing stories, laughter, a glass of w**e, and good food.

Frank also found joy in life's simple pleasures: tending to his garden, reading the newspaper, taking a nap on the boat, long drives in the Corvette, and cheering on Olympiacos, his beloved Greek soccer team. Together, Frank and Toula were known for their open-hearted hospitality. Their home was always welcoming, their table always full, and no guest ever left without a full stomach and a happy heart. It was not unusual for gatherings to carry on until the early hours of the morning, with the sounds of a Greek bouzouki filling the room and keeping the celebrations alive.

Frank will be remembered for the beautiful life he built with Toula, the love he gave his children and friends, and the countless memories made around their family table. His larger-than-life personality, warmth, generosity, and unmistakable ability to bring people together will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him.

Frank will be forever loved and held in our hearts.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Alzheimer Society of Canada in his memory.

We love you Dad.

May his memory be eternal.
Αἰωνία ἡ μνήμη.

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved mother, mother-in-law, grandmother, sister, and friend, Panorea Georgiadu.

Panorea was a loving and caring woman who had a special way of making those around her feel welcome and loved. Her kindness, strength, and warmth touched the lives of everyone fortunate enough to know her, and she will be remembered for the love she shared so generously.

She was so much more than a mother and grandmother. Her family meant everything to her, and she found great joy in caring for those she loved. She was a passionate woman who loved to cook and bring her family together around the table. She patiently taught her daughter and daughter-in-law how to make her beloved spanakopita, passing down not only a cherished recipe but also a little piece of herself and her traditions.

Panorea had a wonderful desire to learn and grow. She was determined to study and improve her English, always embracing opportunities to learn something new. She loved travelling, discovering new places, and had a special talent for sewing clothes for the people she loved. Through her cooking, her creativity, and her generosity, she expressed her love in so many ways.

She leaves behind a loving family who will forever carry her memory in their hearts and cherish the many beautiful moments they shared with her.

Her love will live on through her family, in the recipes she shared, the traditions she passed down, and the memories that will be treasured for generations.

She will be deeply missed, forever loved, and never forgotten.

It is with great sadness that our family announces the passing of Margarita (Margaret) Gaskas on Sunday, November 1, 2026, at the age of 93. She was born in Vevi, Florina, Greece, on July 5, 1933, to Nikolaos and Eleni Holeris. She is predeceased by her siblings Alexandros, Kiriakos, Pericles, and Georgios.

Margarita was the devoted wife of 68 years to the late Anastasios. She was a loving and caring mother to Gary Argirios (Litsa Evangelia) and Danny (Angela), a proud grandmother to Anastasios (Elleni), Peter, Melissa (Marco), Nicholas (Georgia), and Elizabeth (Stefano), and a cherished great-grandmother to Evangelia, Argyrios, Hrisoula, Georgios, and Christian. Her grandchildren and great-grandchildren were the joy of her life, and she was immensely proud of every one of them.

In 1958, Margarita, Anastasios, and their young son Gary came to Toronto in pursuit of a better life. Their son Danny was born a few years later. In her early years in Canada, she worked at Philco/Ford and Smith Corona. When her husband started his restaurant business, Margarita joined him and worked faithfully by his side until their retirement in 1998.

Margarita was a kind, generous, and deeply devoted Greek Orthodox Christian whose faith guided her throughout her life. She took great pride in preserving her Greek heritage and traditions, which she lovingly passed on to her family. Her home was always open, her table always full, and no one ever left hungry. She was especially known for her exceptional cooking and baking, delighting family and friends with traditional dishes, homemade breads, pitas and sweets prepared with love and care. Gathering loved ones around the table brought her tremendous happiness, and sharing her food was one of the many ways she expressed her love.

She spent her last few years at the Hellenic Home for the Aged – Scarborough, where she received compassionate care and support.
Margarita was a devoted and loving wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. Her warmth, strength, faith, and unwavering love for her family will be remembered forever. She will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to a charity of your choice.
