We welcomed the Very Reverend Archimandrite Dionysios Anagnostopoulos to our parish of Saint Demetrios and our school in January 2021.

Very Rev. Archimandrite Dionysios Anagnostopoulos graduated from Northeastern University in Boston with a Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Technology. He was ordained to the diaconate in August of 2003, and then on August 24, 2003, he was ordained to the priesthood.  April 15, 2006, he was ordained as Archimandrite. He  graduated in 2004 with his M. Div. from Holy Cross Seminary.

He served at Saint Demetrios in Astoria, NY from 2003-2008; Holy Cross in Whitestone, NY from 2008-2019; and Yonkers, NY in 2020. 

We are blessed to have Very Rev. Archmandrite Dionysios Anagnostopoulos as our Ieratikos Proistamenos. With his guidance, we provide our children with the foundation of faith and love for God, building up the next generation of faithful Orthodox Christians.
