Our beautiful parish has just lost our beloved Father Pangiotis, we cannot lose Father Emmanuel at the same time. We are a family at St Dimitrios, we are mourning the most elegant man Father Panagiotis and need our spiritual Father Emmanuel to help us through this and we also want to be there for him. We understand the transfers of priests happen but the timing of this is very inconsiderate and dire. We want to lean on each other. Father Emmanuel means so much to so many of us and our children. He has inspired the youth of today to reconnect with God which is needed now more than ever with the crazy times we are living in.
Please reconsider taking out parish priest from us.
