PARATHOSI

With the blessing of His Eminence Archbishop Elpidophoros, I’m so happy to share that registration for Parathosi 2026 that will take place on Saturday January 31st, 2026 at the Melville Marriott in Long Island, NY is officially open!

Each year, Parathosi is more than just a dance festival, it is a chance for our entire community to come together to celebrate our faith, our culture, and the spirit of fellowship that makes our Archdiocese so special. We can’t wait to see our young people back on stage, proudly sharing their heritage and love for our Church through dance and song.

Here are a few quick details as we get ready for this year’s celebration:
