FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How has COVID-19 affected the 2021 food festival?
For nearly 50 years, our festival has allowed us to share our Greek Orthodox spirituality and traditions with our community. While we will not have our traditional food festival this year due to the COVID-19 global pandemic, we will be offering our same recipes for online ordering with curbside pickup June 16, 17, and 18 only. We will follow strict COVID regulations for the health and safety of our parishioners and guests.
We thank you for your understanding and ongoing support of our church.

Where do I pickup my online order?
After you make your online purchase, make sure you print your receipt or have your phone ready with the confirmation of your purchase. Make special note of the pickup time you choose.
