Pharos is pleased to have been a contributor to the commemorative stained glass window in Kits House as described below:
The Kits House.
We drive by it and walk by it . . . and some of us still remember it as our
church, our Greek school, our Sunday school. Some of us still refer to it as
“our old church.” Some of us were married in the church, others baptized. It
served the Greek community from 1930-1972 and after that has been serving the
Westside community.
When Kits house
was updated, they forgot something.
To show the
multicultural nature of the center and that all were welcome the community
center added “welcome” to the steps. Each step has “Welcome” in a different
language to represent all the cultures that the center touches …
but they forgot
one.
The many Greek
associations and businesses and St. George’s congregation stepped forward, and
this was rectified. While the project has been referred to as “The Kits Stained Glass Project,” the project also encompassed the creation of 2 memory boards to
show visitors how the Greek Community used the building. St. George’s Cathedral
has also donated 2 pews from the original church to be returned back home. They
will be placed in the basement hall with the 2 memory boards.
Upcoming Event.
On April 19, St. George’s Church will be holding an evening service at our old
church. A formal announcement will soon follow. Mark your calendars, tell your
parents and let's all meet at the old church for a service like old times.
