VALE MARITSA KELLY

With deep human sadness but with certainty in the Resurrection we inform our Parishioners and Friends that a stalwart of our Parish Philoptochos Committee, MARITSA KELLY, departed this world to be with Christ in Heaven, just a few days ago.

Our Priests, the Parish Council, the Parish Philoptochos and the Board of Governors of St Spyridon College, as one heart and family, express our sincere condolences to Maritsa’s family, both here, in New Zealand and in Greece.

Maritsa served the Philoptochos with devotion to Christ and loyalty to His Church. She worked capably and tirelessly for the Philoptochos of our Parish for 40 years and never aspired to becoming President.

Yet, what is remarkable about this lady is that, since 1989, when we established the Senior Citizens Group, she rolled up her sleeves and, mentored by the late chefs Chris Joannou then Kyriakos Varnava, she cooked “home-made” meals for 50, 70 then 100 seniors every Thursday until her 93rd birthday, assisted by the late Amalia Ginis and others.

She was disappointed to hang up her chef’s apron but was nominated by our Parish and was acknowledged for her services by His Eminence Archbishop Makarios of Australia with the Cross of the Order of the Christ-Loving.

We invite our Parishioners to honour our late Parishioner, Maritsa Kelly, and her tireless efforts for the love of the Church, by attending her Funeral Service at 12.30 pm on Monday 22nd June 2026.

MAY CHRIST RECEIVE HER IN HIS LOVING ARMS
