SAINT VASILIOS GREEK ORTHODOX CHURCH
CORE VALUES
FAITH
St. Vasilios Greek Orthodox Church proclaims the Gospel of Jesus Christ in accordance with the Orthodox Faith. We sanctify the faithful through God's grace in the worship and the sacraments of the Church so that we may all achieve His Salvation.
​
Loving God through worship and loving our neighbor through ministries are the bedrocks of our faithful community.
HELLENIC HERITAGE
Since 1906, St. Vasilios parish has been the heart and center of the religious, social, and ethnic life of the Greek immigrant community. We are a welcoming, inclusive, vibrant, and contemporary parish that respects and honors our Hellenic and religious traditions, while continuously adapting to serve the changing needs of our parishioners and the surrounding community.
​
From inception, our community has continued to grow and prosper. This campaign will ensure that St. Vasilios parish is a vibrant community for generations to come.
EDUCATION & SCHOLARSHIP
Through our Greek School, Church School and PTA Scholarship Program, St. Vasilios is committed to education. We will continue to offer our young people exceptional language and religious instruction so they can grown in their faith and culture.
​
Our PTA scholarship program is one of the strongest in the nation and annually awards scholarships to 40 outstanding members of our parish who are pursuing a higher education, creating an ongoing legacy and impact in the lives of our young people.
GENEROSITY
We consider it an important obligation of our parish to reach out to the wider community and to offer service and aid to those in need. Through our Ladies Philoptochos, Men’s Club and many other civic organizations, we fulfill the commandment of Christ to love our neighbor as ourself, we witness to our faith as it is expressed in the ancient traditions of Orthodoxy, and we make our presence known to those who may have no faith or church affiliation.
