MESSAGE FROM
FR. ANTHONY
“And remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that He said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’ ”
- Acts 20:35
For more than a century, Dormition Church has been the spiritual home for four generations of Greek-Americans, several waves of Greek immigrants who sought refuge in this country, and many others who have sought out the faith and heritage of the Greek Orthodox Church.
​
Looking to our future, we are working to renew our community both by increasing our ministerial impact and by renovating our sanctuary and facilities, which are in need of repair.
​
As the pastor of this community I firmly believe that with God’s Grace and your help we can accomplish the goals of this capital campaign, and our community will thrive as a joyous and blessed people of God.
​
Your loving coworker
and caring pastor,
