• Join us as we explore the Bible readings from each Sunday’s Divine Liturgy. Read the Holy Scriptures, share, discuss, reflect, and pray together. We also review Orthodox Christian media to broaden our understanding of our Faith. All are welcome to attend. Please refer to our Monthly Epistle Newsletter for current and upcoming topics. We meet every Wednesday at 10:30AM in the GOYA Room.

    St. Demetri

  • Our St Demetrios Philoptochos is dedicated to helping our parish and the Cleveland community. Come join us and learn more about our efforts.

    You define what kind of member you will be. We are always looking for new skills, experiences and personalities – without them we would not be 26,000 members strong nationwide.

    We welcome you with open arms to join us in making a difference.  If you can’t make very many meetings, that’s ok, choose the projects you’d like to help with, we will keep you informed by email.

    You may ask, isn’t Philoptochos mostly older women?  We get the reputation because many of our members joined years ago and have continued because they believe in our mission. But we welcome all ages! The young members bring fresh ideas while the older ones have experiences to share.

  • The Movie-Monday ministry began in the 2017-18 ecclesiastical year with the mission to view films and discuss their spiritual themes. Selections have ranged from short, feature-length, and documentary films; movies made in the USA, independently and in Hollywood, in Greece, and other countries; by both Christian and secular filmmakers. Watch on our big screen in our Cultural Hall, once or twice a month.

    Admission is free and open to all ages! Read the Weekly Bulletin or the monthly Epistle Newsletter to learn what’s playing.
