From the Preface:Papa Dimitri lived in Greece during the Communist struggle after WWII. His life is was marked by many miracles. Allow us to introduce to you such a hero, a champion, a contemporary Saint who reposed in the Lord in 1975: Father Dimitrios Gagastathis--A giant of a Saint; a towering, prophetic figure; a simple man of great faith; a man of prayer, whose feet were touching the earth, but whose head reached the heavens. Father Dimitrios, or "Papa-Dimitri" as he was known, lived amidst the problems and cares of everyday life as a married priest (with nine daughters), yet "lived like an angel rather than an earthly man." He became for us a lamp, a living icon who " walked among us but whose association was in heaven."
The Book Discussion Group will be held at 6:30 p.m. February 10th in the Church parlor. Guest presenter will be Dr. Pat Christian. All are welcome. Don't miss this opportunity for spiritual nourishment! The book is currently available in the Church library and bookstore.
