With the Saints give rest, O Christ, to the soul of Your servant where there is no pain,

nor sorrow, nor suffering; but life everlasting.

ένθα ουκ έστι πόνος, ου λύπη, ου στεναγμός, αλλά ζωή ατελεύτητος.

The Greek Orthodox Church of St. Demetrios

Stewardship as of Friday November 11, 2022

444 Stewards

This summer our parish family has been able to donate more than 80 bags of non-perishable items to food pantries across the Chicagoland area. This would not have been possible without your support!

As everyone continues to struggle with inflation and rising food prices, our food pantries have seen a shocking increase in demand. Please continue to support Project HOPE by donating any amount of the items listed below or preferably bag(s) full of one of each of the items. 

No time to shop?  Contact Fannie Theodore at [email protected] or 708.899.8007 or Dimitri Katsamberis at [email protected] to find out how you can donate or sponsor a bag.
