The History of our Parish
The present edifice of Sts. Constantine and Helen Greek Orthodox Church at 1001 East Wyomissing Boulevard represents the end of a long and interesting story that began more than 100 years ago by a handful of Greek immigrants who had settled in the Reading area. As news of their successes and accomplishments were received by friends, relatives, and fellow villagers in Greece, many others decided to join this group as they pursued the American dream in seeking a better life.   more...

Past Presidents
During the first 90 years of our parish's history, we have been blessed to have a wonderful group of individuals guiding the growth and ministries in our parish. They make-up the Parish Council and the St. Xenia Ladies Philoptochos Society. These two groups are the left and right hands of the Priest, helping to minister to the people of our community both Orthodox and non-Orthodox. They are the leaders of our communities, and they have had strong leadership within their groups as well. We recognize the commitment and achievements of all those Past Presidents of these two wonderful organizations (both living and departed), and we pray for those who will lead our parish in the bright future of the ministry to the world.   more...
