St. Demetrios Grows

St. Demetrios recently acquired over four acres of land in Camarillo on Santa Rosa and Woodcreek Roads for the purpose of building a new church.  We are hard at work raising funds to pay off our land loan and planning for the new church.  We welcome advice and donations from the community.  If you think you can help, please contact the church office.

Our own Father Gary was featured in the Saturday, January 9, 2005 Ventura County Star.  If you didn't catch the article in print, you can find it here at the Star's web site. Note that you will need to register (it's free) in order to view the article.  You also can view the article directly from our web site.

Greek Dance Lessons

If you've come to our Festival, you may have seen the Yia Yia's and Papou's (Greek for grandmas and grandpas), our senior dance group.  The group gets together at the church on the 2nd Monday of each month at 7pm to practice.  All are welcome.  If you always wanted to try Greek dance, or you're just looking to experience something new, please join us.  No reservations are necessary, and there's no charge.
