Besides the normal religious functions our community maintains a Greek language school sunday school, celebrates religious holidays, organizes various social functions as well fund raising events such as the Annual Greek festival that serves not only as a fund raising activity but as a cultural one as well. The Greek Orthodox church and community of Saint Andrew received its charter from the Archdiocese and has been serving the Orthodox community of Morris county NJ since its founding in December 1962 by the Rev. Konstantine Tsigas. Although modest, this facility served well the fledgling community until 1975. The present church building was constructed at a picturesque 9-acre site in Randolph, N. J., which was purchased to serve the growing needs of the church and community. The present property provides ample space for future expansion and architectural plans for the construction of a community center have been made.
Efforts are underway to raise the neccessary funds for the construction of the center.
The community of Saint Andrew consists presently of approximately 325 families. Many of the original members of the community came from the area of Greece near the city of Nafpaktos, although in later years the community has become much more diversified. In recent years, many of its parishioners have come from the Greek Island of Cyprus. The Parish Council meets the 2nd Thursday of every month and coordinates at least two General Assemblies each year. The Sunday School is thriving despite the lack of adequate facilities for the almost 200 students.
