Parish Council
Mission of the Parish Council
The mission of the parish as defined in the Uniform Parish Regulations is “… to keep, practice and proclaim the Orthodox Christian Faith pure and undefiled.”
2023 St. Demetrios Parish Council
As leaders of the community, parish council members are on the front lines and are able to have a long-term effect on their parish. To serve on the parish council is a ministry and those who serve are called to represent Christ to all whom they meet in all aspects of life.
