Ζητούμε από όλους να συνδράμετε στην ενίσχυση της Κοινότητος, ιδίως τώρα που τελείωσε η αγιογράφιση του ναού, και ολοκληρώθηκε 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.

THE CHURCH

The Greek Orthodox Community of Saint Demetrios in Merrick, New York was founded in 1961. On December 1959, under the guidance of the late James (Demetrios) Boulukos a meeting took place with the intention to establish a parish in the South Shore of Long Island.
