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.
