There's plenty to keep you busy all day
Realize, all Greeks live on "Greek Time", which means not everything will happen exactly on schedule.  We'll do our best, but its better to have a fun time than to stress over every minute, so relax, enjoy, and we'll announce when its really time for each event.

Church Tours

Take a cultural, artistic, architectural and faithful tour of the Eastern Orthodox Church and its history.  Last year, the Church was filled to the limit with folks interested in our Byzantine artwork, ancient traditions and way of worship.  The Iconography, the chanting, and the pace of the Orthodox Church has intrigued people of all walks of life, and this is your opportunity to visit the Church and ask all the questions you desire.

Greek Dancers

The "Saints Constantine and Helen Greek Dancers" has grown from about 6 to nearly 30 children of every age!  We are blessed with this success and they will put on a great show for you.  The older youth group, known as "O Siesmos" (The Quake) is ages 10 and up and taught by Mrs. Kelli Koukourikos, Mrs. Maria Harrington and Mrs. Helen Shafer.  Our younger ones, known as "Ta Mikra" (The Little Ones) start as young as 6 years old (and they're really cute!) instructed by Mrs. Maria Leone and Mrs. Mina Leletsopoulos.
