AASP/MA’s Papageorg Named Saint Catherine’s Parishioner of the Year AASP/MA Executive Director Evangelos “Lucky” Papageorg recently received the Parishioner of the Year Award at the Metropolis of Boston Ministry’s awards ceremony at Saint Catherine’s Church in Braintree. Papageorg’s honor was originally slated for 2020 but delayed to this year in light of COVID-19. Papageorg credits his father, Xenophon, for his strong family ties, work ethic and commitment to community. As a child, he and his family attended services at the Annunciation in Boston before becoming parishioners of Saint Catherine’s while at its Quincy location. He has been a strong and devoted member of the church since its move to Braintree and has served in many capacities. He currently assists with Sunday services as the sexton as well as overseeing the altar boy ministry. Those who have attended and worked at Saint Catherine’s Greek festival recognize him as a tireless worker whose main goal is to keep the food serving lines well stocked from the kitchen. Papageorg looks forward to serving Saint Catherine’s Church and the community for many more years to come and is extremely honored and humbled by the recognition bestowed upon him as a Parishioner of the Year. Congratulations, Lucky!
