Springfield Greek Festival

After reviewing the parish's present resources and abilities, we have to announce that we will not be hosting a festival this year.
We are sad to cancel, but we are glad to have been able to keep up the festival annually for so long.
Thank you to all our supporters!

(We have no particular announcements at this time regarding future festivals)

Yesterday, we gathered to say goodbye to our dear friend Manoli. He was a founding member of St. Thomas the Apostle Orthodox Church, which met in his family's home in the early days. Manoli was also instrumental in bringing together people from our community and creating the Springfield Greek Festival. If you met him, you'll never forget him. Memory eternal.

Jeweler, ex-pro wrestler 'The Flying Greek' remembered as trailblazer Springfield jeweler Manoli Savvenas battled cancer with the same determination he once showed in the ring.

The Orthodox Church is central to the faith, life, and culture of Greece. Greece is an ancient country which has influenced our language and architecture today, as well as the Christian Church. The history of the Orthodox Church is rich and ancient, unfolding primarily in Greece in the early years. Come learn and see about the Ancient Christian church while also enjoying the greek atmosphere at our 14th Annual Greek Festival
