The Archangel Michael Greek Orthodox Church in Port Washington, NY celebrated its new home with a Blessing of the Water (“Hagiasmos) Service this past June.
by Marilena Katopodis
The crosses on the domes of the new sanctuary were blessed by Father Dennis Strouzas, Protopresbyter, and Father Evan Evangelidis, with some help from the Port Washington Fire Department as both priests were lifted in a cherry picker and guided close to the crosses. Construction of the church interior continues, and all were invited to peer into the sanctuary and witness the tremendous progress of our new home.
The Blessing of the Crosses was followed by the 2nd Annual Community Barbeque, hosted by the Archangel Michael Parish Council. Our community enjoyed an afternoon of good food, fellowship and camaraderie in the surroundings of our new home. Archangel Michael Greek Orthodox Church is located at 100 Fairway Drive, Port Washington, NY 11050.
