March **2012** **TAR** 3 Section D Achievements and performance **Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year** The parish continued to staff and hold church services for the faithful within the constraints of government pandemic restrictions, and in keeping with our duty to protect the wider community from COVID-19. Baptisms, weddings, and funerals including graveside services were provided where possible, along with confessions and home visits for communion and other reasons. When pandemic conditions precluded services, we opened the church for private prayer. In order to do this, volunteers were recruited to help with covid safety measures when the church was open. Maintenance to church property continued and some small improvements to the building were completed. When the community could not gather together in person, we worked to find other ways of staying connected. The Sunday School in particular stepped up its efforts during the first half of the year to help families with children spiritually. The Greek School was able to move online and overall increased its number of language students, as well as expanding its curriculum. Zoom meetings took place to provide contact on major church feast days, and an online parish bulletin was also launched to facilitate communication. We were able to recommend practical online resources for those struggling during the pandemic, and to distribute other timely information such as ways to continue worshipping at home, along with resources for building the spiritual life through links for reading and listening in various fields such as theology, the history of the church, the arts, and resources for younger parishioners. The parish’s Auxiliary Association recruited a further network of active volunteers to assist with pastoral work in the difficult times of the COVID19 pandemic. Volunteers reached out to isolated and vulnerable people by telephone, ran urgent errands, and provided gift baskets locally to parishioners identified by clergy, to mark the major feasts of Pascha and Christmas. The parish was also able to collect for the homeless in this country with money and clothing, and provided food items to a local charity serving refugees. Together with the Parish of the Annunciation (charity # 1122035), with which we share the use of our church, we collected funds during Lent in support of the Mazi school for refugee children in Samos, Greece. Together with the Parish of the Annunciation (charity # 1122035), with which we share the use of our church, we started collecting funds during Lent in support of the Shepherd’s High School in Beit Sahour, Palestinian West Bank. The collection continued into the next financial year. March **2012** **TAR** 4 ||**The Greek Orthodox Community Of The Holy Trinity, Oxford**
