Another photo that will be priceless to our great-grandchildren is this ground breaking ceremony which took place on May 31, 1987. Located just behind our present church, a record crowd was on hand to celebrate this milestone in our history. Pictured L. to R.:

The construction of this facility will greatly enhance the downtown area of Columbus and will be a tribute by the Greek-Americans of central Ohio to their forefathers who settled here with hopes of prosperity and a good life for their descendants.

Since the beginning, the co-chairmen for raising have been Charles Tzagournis (left) George Brown. They have undertaken enormous task that requires hours of telephone time and personal contacts. The chairmen are greatly assisted by Chris Bouzounis, Sam Harachis, Kosmas Synadinos, George Sicaras, Nick Mamais, Peter Manos, George Spantithos, Tass Sicaras others.
