Join us in congratulating Fr. John Antonopoulos for being named "Father of the Year" by the Εθνικός Κήρυξ / The National Herald! Here is a message from his family, including our owner, Konstantinos (Gus) Antonopoulos, about this honor:

"Since Dad was Protopresvyteros of St. Demetrios Cathedral and St. Catherine & St. George Church, we knew we had to share him with others, but we didn't mind. Fr. John Antonopoulos's love is like the widow's olive oil in the Holy Scriptures - it keeps flowing to all who need him.

Some of his greatest accomplishments have been at home, as loving husband to the late Presvytera Katerina and dedicated father and grandfather. Dad, as you receive this well-deserved recognition, we know in your humility, your truest joy was seeing your beloved wife, and our revered mother, remembered at the dedication of Sts. Constantine and Helen Chapel, which was built in her honor by your son, Konstantinos. We love you for all you are and all you've done." - The Antonopoulos Family ... See MoreSee Less
