During the period 1971-1984, the following priests served our parish as pastoral assistants at the direction of the diocesan bishop, but without a formal archdiocesan appointment (diorismos):
- Rev. George Economou
- Rev. George Tsoumas
- Rev. Kallistos Samaras
- Rev. Stanley Markantonis
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.
