Addendum

In 1926, the political struggle in Greece between the royalists and the republicans, as well as the ecclesiastical controversy over the old and new church calendars, led to a split in the community. A dissident group of republican/new calendarists established a new parish dedicated to the Holy Transfiguration. The priests who served this parish were:

Rev. Astergios Papastergiou (1926)
Rev. Efstathios Georgiades (1927)
Rev. Artemios Artemiou (1928)
Rev. Gregory Melonadakis (1929)
Rev. George Economides (1930)

In 1930, the parishes voted to re-unite, and the Rev. George Economides, then pastor of Holy Transfiguration, was appointed pastor of the newly unified parish of St. Vasilios.
