“Now that everyone has voiced their concerns, it’s time to work together for our shared goal — the progress of our Church and our community.”
In an exclusive interview on COSMOS FM with Dimitris Filios, Archbishop Elpidophoros addressed the recent tensions at St. Demetrios Church in Astoria, emphasizing that the removal of seven Parish Council members, including the president, was not punitive or personal, but part of a necessary administrative and financial restructuring to ensure the parish’s long-term stability.
He announced the reappointment of two members — John Stroumbakis and Mr. Kritikos — as a demonstration of trust and commitment to unity, and reiterated that he has not lost confidence in the faithful of Astoria.
On the financial front, he clarified that selling the parish’s new building would not solve the underlying issues, stressing instead the need for modern governance and transparency. He reaffirmed his unwavering commitment that the St. Demetrios School will remain open, calling it a cornerstone of Hellenic education in America.
Importantly, the Archbishop revealed that he has personally reached out to the Stavros Niarchos Foundation to revive its 2018 proposal for collaboration, which he strongly supports as a means to strengthen the school’s future.
He concluded with a heartfelt call for unity and cooperation, urging all parishioners to work together for the advancement of the community and the Church.
