I’m still writing my description. Please give me a call, or send me a text if you’d like more information.
Father Andrew
I was raised Roman Catholic in Phoenix, Arizona. In high school, I began searching for the one true church of our Lord, after experiencing the modernism and secularism of the Roman Catholic church. I visited Holy Ascension Monastery while in college and was made a catechumen. By God’s Grace, I was baptized into the Holy Orthodox Church on Christmas Eve in 2008. After college, my wife and I moved to the Richmond, Virginia area, and began attending St Seraphim’s. On the feast of St Parthenios, in 2014, I was ordained a deacon. I served the parish for nine years, and I was ordained to the holy priesthood by Metropolitan Demetrius of America on the feast of St Seraphim, 2024. I am blessed to have my wife, Anna, and my two daughters support my ministry in the Church. I am also a registered nurse caring for patients in an interventional pain clinic.
Metropolitan Demetrius
I grew up in a loving family in Toronto with my parents, Constantine and Chrysoula, who instilled the love of Christ in me. I’m the youngest of three siblings. My journey began after spending time in the Holy Land and on Mount Athos. In 1994, I joined the Monastery of the Holy Transfiguration and took the name Demetrius, honoring St. Demetrius of Thessaloniki. I was ordained a deacon in 1999, a priest in 2005, and a bishop in 2006. In September 2012, I was welcomed into the Genuine Orthodox Church of Greece and elected Bishop of Boston. On April 28, 2014, I was enthroned as Metropolitan of America at the Cathedral of Saint Markella in Astoria, New York. In 2015, I founded a monastery dedicated to St. John of Shanghai and San Francisco, which holds many precious relics and serves as my residence.
