History

Saint Demetrios Greek Orthodox Church of Bristol, Connecticut has served the Orthodox Christian faithful of the Farmington Valley and the surrounding communities of north-central Connecticut from its home at 110 Maltby Street. The parish is dedicated to Saint Demetrios the Great Martyr and Myrrh-Streamer, the beloved third-century military officer of Thessalonica who was martyred for his Christian faith under the Emperor Maximian and whose feast day on October 26 is one of the most widely celebrated in the Greek Orthodox world, particularly among communities with roots in northern Greece and Macedonia.

 

The community that bears his name has built a vibrant parish life in the Clock City, as Bristol is known, gathering the Orthodox faithful of central Connecticut for Sunday Orthros and Divine Liturgy, seasonal celebrations, and the full round of sacramental and communal life that defines Orthodox Christian parish existence. The parish encourages active community involvement through its Parish Council, Chanters, Sunday School, Philoptochos, Greeters ministry, and Reader ministry, welcoming all who seek a spiritual home in the ancient Orthodox Christian faith.
