Stewardship:

Ζητούμε από όλους να συνδράμετε στην ενίσχυση της Κοινότητος, ιδίως τώρα που τελείωσε η αγιογράφιση του ναού, και ξεκίνησε η ανέγερση του Κοινοτικού Κέντρου “Κωνσταντίνος και Κυριακή Κασσιμάτη”. Η ετήσια συνδρομή είναι ευκαιρία να είμαστε όλοι ενωμένοι συμπαραστάτες στο τεράστιο έργο της ενορίας και στην διατήρηση και επέκταση των προγραμμάτων της.

Please, become contributing stewards of Saint Demetrios Greek Orthodox Church, the Community needs all of us. The Parish ministries, the Constantine and Carol Cassis Community Center project and the Church iconography and beautification projects are all happening because of you, the loving and faithful contributors!

THE CHURCH
