All Saints Greek Orthodox Church will be celebrating 100 years of Eastern Orthodoxy in Weirton May 13-14, and welcoming home many sons and daughters of the church who are returning to the Ohio Valley for the centennial celebration, The Weirton Daily Times reports.
The celebration weekend includes several events, including, most notably, Archbishop Demetrios, Geron of America, leading Vespers at 3 p.m. May 13 and the Divine Liturgy at 9 a.m. May 14. Both are open to the public.
Among those returning to the valley for the event include Michael Psaros, co-founder and co-managing partner of KPS Capital Partners, and John Frangakis, Reynolds Services Inc. founder. Psaros will give a speech at the celebration gala set for May 13, and Frangakis will be the master of ceremonies. Both men grew up in the church and said they were honored and humbled to be asked to participate in the “once-in-a-lifetime” event.
