Direct Archdiocesan District

The Archdiocesan District, based in New York City, is composed of 65 parishes located throughout the greater New York area, the northern suburbs, upstate New York, Long Island, the western half of Connecticut, Washington D.C. and the independent nation of the Commonwealth of the Bahamas (Nassau N.P.).

The Archdiocesan District is under the direct authority, supervision, and pastoral care of His Eminence Archbishop Elpidophoros of America. This is a unique element since Archbishop Elpidophoros also serves as the Primate of the Greek Orthodox Church in America and as the Chairman of the Holy Eparchial Synod of Bishops.  Assisting the Archbishop in the administration of the Archdiocesan District is the Chancellor, Protopresbyter Elias Villis.
