Agape Gala 2025

This past January, St. Nicholas Parish hosted its annual Agape Gala at Leonard’s Palazzo in Great Neck, NY.

Two milestone events were celebrated this year-the 70th anniversary of the opening of the St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church, and the retirement of our beloved Protopresbyter, Father Paul C. Palesty.  Father Paul was ordained into the priesthood 47 years ago, and has served as our faithful head shepherd for 28 years.

From the bottom of our hearts, we thank Father for the gift of his strong and loving spiritual leadership.  We wish him, his dear Presbytera Anastasia and family every blessing in the years to come.

Chronia Polla!  Axios!

“Well done, good and faithful servant.” (Matthew 25:23)
