“FILOKALIA” through its activities aim to support educational and cultural activities for children, young people and adults as well as activities against poverty and unemployment in order to enhance people’s quality of life. Due to its connection with the Orthodox Church of Cyprus and thus through more than 150 parishes, “FILOKALIA” has access to a national, well-organized network of volunteers, mainly of young people, who assist in activities that promote the common good and benefit.
Each parish has a determined contact point with “FILOKALIA“. At this stage, for physical members and active involvement to our activities, we encourage you to contact your closest parish and mention your interest to “FILOKALIA“. They will have a direct contact with us in order to find out all the possible ways you can get involved to “FILOKALIA” activities.
For parishes that have not yet become members of “FILOKALIA“, please download the registration form, fill it in and send us a scanned copy either through email or fax. We will then contact you back for several information regarding our activities and your involvement as well as information about membership fees.
