Reverend Economos Father Andrew D Cadieux

History of Our Parish
Original Mattituck Greek Church being built in 1969 located on Breakwater Road.
On October 11, 1969, under the leadership of Theofan Kyvernitis, a Cypriot immigrant/businessman, the groundbreaking ceremonies took place on Breakwater Road. Originally, the church was built in potato fields, which are now replaced by vegetable fields.
With Rev. John Malouris and Rev. Dr. John Poulos of St. Demetrios Church in Astoria, New York present for the ceremony; Mr. Theofan Kyvernitis donated the property from the land of former farmer/real estate broker Stanley Sledjeski.
Early Years In Mattituck
At the time, there were very few places Greek immigrants could go with comfort and familiarity . When the Transfiguration of Mattituck Church was built, Mattituck became the only community in walking distance, after Astoria’s churches for Greeks. The Greek community has and is flourishing because of the Southold government and merchants who are all familiar friends. For many of the Greek families that immigrated to the United States, there was no Greek village upon arrival. Mattituck became a home-away-from-home for so many Greek and Cypriot families with similar yet unique backgrounds.
