Sunday, June 8 – Holy Pentecost

Please note that services will begin early.

This will also be Father Philotheos’ last service with St. Demetrios. We hope you’ll join us as we come together to thank him for his faithful service, spiritual leadership, and the love he has shown our community.

Following the Divine Liturgy, we will also celebrate:

It will be a beautiful and meaningful day filled with faith, gratitude, and community. We look forward to seeing you there.
