OLOGS Italo-Greek-Arbëreshë Society

OLOGS Italo-Greek-Arbëreshë Society Papas Ciro Pinnola arrived in NYC in 1903 & founded Our Lady of Grace Mission on Pascha Sunday, 1904. OLOGS Italo-Greek-Arbëreshë Society began in 1945.

We are under the Archdiocese of NY & members of SI Council of Churches. To be a member of OLOGS our annual donation is $20. You will receive the society's quarterly Newsletter and normally be invited to attend the yearly dinner for the Staten Island Council of Churches Dinner. Each year the OLOGS chooses a person to receive our Certificate of Excellence for their contributions to the Italo-Greek-

Albanian Catholic Faith, as well as the SICC Service Award. The public is welcome to our Divine Liturgies. We are Italo-Greek-Albanian, Eastern Catholics. We are the direct heirs to the original Our Lady of Grace Mission started by Papas Ciro Pinnola in NYC. We have our own specific liturgy and traditions. Which differ from other Byzantine churches/rites. We are part of the Universal Catholic Church, Under Pope Francis. We are under the Omophor the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of New York , since our bishops are in Greece and Italy.

It is with heavy hearts that we receive and announce the information about the departure of Pope Francis. Our heart felt condolences go out to the international community of Catholics. Pope Francis, has been a source of hope, compassion and inspiration; he has always encouraged us all as human beings to rise higher in our humanity. The positive presence of Pope Francis, (The people’s Pope) will be missed.

~ Bishop-Elect Donnie Williams, President of the SICOC.
