Saint Demetrios Greek Orthodox Cathedral Festival Astoria NY

The Community of St. Demetrios has been in existence for 80 years and its progress has been astonishing. In 1927, the ground on which St. Demetrios stands today, was purchased for $3,500. With only $306 in their treasury, these immigrant people consisting of furriers, tailors, bakers and laborers gathered together to form a charter. The church's school, which opened in 1957 with 267 students, has blossomed into a full Day School (Pre K to 12th grade ) with over 700 Greek-American students.
