Over 40 years ago, we not only celebrated the establishment of Kimisis Tis Theotokou Greek Orthodox Parish, but also the continuation of the mission of the Greek Orthodox Church and the Hellenic Culture.

As we reflect back to the first moments, we remember the formation of our Parish on July 16, 1976, the groundbreaking ceremony initiated on Sunday, September 21, 1986 and the joyous event of the first Liturgy on December 18, 1988, when the church of Kimisis Tis Theotokou (The Dormition of the Theotokos) finally became a reality.  This day marked the history of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America and the Metropolis of New Jersey.

The historical parish of Kimisis Tis Theotokou, for over 40 years, has offered the faithful, Orthodoxy and Hellenism and continues to do so with zealous efforts in order to preserve our beliefs and culture.  The Orthodox Church is a vital part of our lives because Orthodoxy is not only a tradition, but a way of life.

It has become the continuation of us and our ancestors through the next generation.  The Greek Orthodox Church is a haven to the children of our community and not only enlightens them on our faith, but also raises their respect and admiration for the Hellenic Civilization.  Our legacy will continue with them.
