JULY 12TH – TESTING DRIVE PLANNED Little Greg, the Worcester-area boy struggling to find a bone-marrow donor needs our help.
In addition, a parishioner of St. Demetrios, Elizabeth Zissis, is also desperately in need of a transplant.

Please save the date and encourage friends, family and neighbors to join us.
Let’s all keep Greg and Elizabeth at the forefront of our prayers and let us reach out to them with great enthusiasm on the 12th!
