Good Company – Kali Parea

In October 2009, Saint Sophia Philoptochos launched Good Company – Kali Parea, a monthly luncheon program, for the members of our Cathedral community to come together to enjoy each other’s company.  Our programs have included speakers on a variety of topics, movies, game day, or just fellowship.  This season’s schedule is below.

Good Company – Kali Parea meets on the third Thursday of September, October, November, February, March, and April at 12:30 pm in the Ballroom on the third floor of The Frosene Center.  A buffet luncheon is served.  There is no charge for the luncheon program.  A goodwill offering basket to support the ministries of Philoptochos is available.  Please bring a dessert to share.  We greatly appreciate our underwriters and hope you will join us (no reservations required)!

If you have questions, or suggestions for speakers, or would like to be an underwriter, or wish to be added to our email list, please contact either Patricia Gogos (202-333-0738 or pagogos@aol.com) or Catherine Mary Rafferty (202-246-8445 or cmrafferty@uchicago.edu).
