Pictured: Community members enjoy a gala banquet Saturday evening in honor of the centennial celebration of The Assumption of The Virgin Mary Greek Orthodox Church
Over the weekend while Helper City’s main street was decked out in lights and vendors, another celebration was occurring: the centennial of The Assumption of The Virgin Mary Greek Orthodox Church.
The celebration, which took place last Friday, Saturday and Sunday, gave those in attendance a chance to celebrate the congregation and what it has done to contribute to Carbon County and the surrounding areas.
Some of the activities included a centennial golf tournament, a bus tour highlighting several mining towns and other points of historical interest, a gala banquet as well as a Sunday morning Orthros and Divine Liturgy.
