The Metropolis of Boston Greek Orthodox Ladies Philoptochos Society
Welcome to the Metropolis of Boston Philoptochos! The establishment of the Philoptochos in New England took place at a Conference convened at the Annunciation Cathedral in Boston in July of 1955 with officers and members of the five greater Boston Philoptochos chapters. Today, the Metropolis of Boston Philoptochos Society is comprised of 42 chapters in the parishes served by the Metropolis of Boston. Explore our website to learn about us and see what we have been up to.
Our Board is always working on something whether that is an event to support our current ministries or working with a new ministry. We also like to share the amazing work our Chapters across the Metropolis are doing every day.

President's Message September 1, 2026 Dearly Beloved Faithful, I am pleased to welcome you to the Metropolis of Boston Philoptochos website. With the spiritual guidance of His Eminence Metropolitan Methodios, our Metropolis of Boston Philoptochos is here to serve those in need of our love, care and compassion. Our Metropolis of Boston Philoptochos Board is comprised of devoted Philoptochos sisters from throughout our Metropolis. With enthusiasm and faith, we are here to serve our many Metropolis ministries: Philoxenia House, St. Methodios Faith and Heritage Center, Metropolis of Boston Camp, Fellowship of Orthodox Stewards, Operation Housewarming, and Operation Classroom. We encourage everyone to join Philoptochos. Each of us is blessed with God-given talents and abilities. Let’s put those talents and abilities to good use. Whatever way you can assist or participate, you will be helping others and furthering the mission of Philoptochos. For almost 100 years, generations of Philoptochos women have labored to do God-pleasing works: to feed the hungry, to assist the needy, and to offer generosity to the poor. We continue to build on the works of the Philoptochos sisters who came before us and gave of themselves. We thank them for their years of devotion. Let’s make the coming year a productive one. With faith in the Lord, and with love for one another, let’s hold hands, and with an open heart, continue our work for the glory of God! With my deepest love and respect, Jane Kourtis President Metropolis of Boston Philoptochos |
