Christ is in our midst!

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

I am very saddened to inform you that the Reverend Protopresbyter Demetrios Demopulos, fell asleep in the Lord at his home in Santa Fe, New Mexico, Saturday afternoon.

He endured a long struggle with cancer, and courageously faced all difficulties with faith and hope in our merciful and compassionate Lord, Jesus Christ.

As we look forward in this season of the Great Fast to the glorious resurrection of Christ and His defeat of death by His own death, let us commend our brother, Demetrios, to the mercy of God and to the sure hope of a blessed resurrection.

The funeral services will take place at Saint George Greek Orthodox Church in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and are as follows:

The Trisagion is scheduled for 7:00 pm, Sunday evening, March 25th at St. George Church
Vigil Psalm reading throughout the night.
The Funeral will commence at 10:00 am, Monday, March 26th, with internment at Fairview Cemetery.
Makaria at St. George following internment.

In lieu of flowers, Presvytera Meredith requests that you please consider making donations in Fr. Demetrios Demopulos’ name to support scholarships for men studying for the priesthood. Checks may be made payable to Hellenic College or Holy Cross Greek Orthodox School of Theology and sent to:
