“Fr. Gregory Stamkopoulos brings to this role a distinguished record of service, academic accomplishment, and a steadfast commitment to the promotion of Hellenic education, culture and Orthodox Christian values across the United States,” the Orthodox Observer reported.

As Director, Stamkopoulos will oversee initiatives to strengthen Greek language and cultural education across the Archdiocese, support educators, and build on the Archdiocese’s longstanding mission to preserve and promote the Hellenic heritage in the United States.
