AHEPA Delphi Chapter 25 of Manhattan, NY, hosted its annual Gala on November 14, 2025, at Tribeca Rooftop in Manhattan, celebrating elegance, philanthropy, and community leadership. The chapter honored Brother Paul J. Lountzis and V. Rev. Archimandrite Chrysostomos Gilbert with the 2025 Delphi Award for their distinguished contributions to business, culture, and faith. Guests enjoyed a vibrant cocktail hour overlooking the Manhattan skyline, followed by a “Delphi Blue”–lit dinner program featuring national anthems performed by Costas Tsourakis, an invocation by His Grace Bishop Athenagoras of Nazianzos, remarks from representatives of the Consulate General of Greece, and the presence of key AHEPA dignitaries, including Dr. Zenon Christodoulou, who attended on behalf of the AHEPA Supreme Lodge.

A unifying theme throughout the evening was the importance of legacy and community bridge-building. President Paul Pavlakos emphasized strengthening bonds and serving as a guiding light within the NYC community. The honorees echoed this message, with Brother Lountzis reflecting on his parents’ immigrant journey and Fr. Gilbert stressing the responsibility to build bridges through faith and service. Delphi 25 also pledged $5,000 toward the Capital Campaign of the Archdiocesan Cathedral of the Holy Trinity. The night concluded with high-energy music and dancing, underscoring the chapter’s unity, dedication, and enduring commitment to service.
