We have the plans to eventually add hand-painted icons in a traditional Byzantine style. Already, we have received some generous gifts towards our new iconostasis, and we encourage people to inquire, and support this important effort.

If you would like to support this project, you can donate to St. Demetrius via Pay Pal using the “General Donations” button on this website, or speak with our parish Treasurer, Sylvestre Barran. Tax deductible gifts can be made by writing a check to “St. Demetrius Orthodox Church” and marking “for iconostasis” on the memo line.
