2025 Day Steward Initiative: For our 2025 Stewardship Drive, we have introduced the optional Day Sponsor Steward initiative. This optional initiative offers our stewards a personal milestone to sponsor the daily operating expenses for our parish. It is a milestone that many may find appealing and personally rewarding. The daily operating expenses of our beloved Saint Demetrios church are $2,000 including utilities, insurance, cleaning, maintenance, the commitment to the archdiocese, and parish salaries. These are the necessary expenses to ensure our beloved parish is open to everyone. Day Sponsor Stewards make and fulfil a minimum annual pledge of $2,000. Half-day Sponsor Stewards make and fulfil a minimum annual pledge of $1,000. Additional days may be sponsored in additional increments of $1,000 or $2,000. As a Day or Half-Day Sponsor, you may identify the specific day(s) you choose to sponsor. Choose any day throughout the year for a special occasion, in memory of or in honor of a loved one and submit on your 2025 pledge card. Day or Half-day Sponsor Stewards may remain anonymous or choose to be included by name in the church bulletin. Your stewardship pledge may also be made online at: http://www.stdemetriosmd.org Donate Now. After donating online, please send in your completed paper copy 2025 pledge card to the church office. Please contact Val Dzwonczyk at vdzwonc@hotmail.com if you have any questions about the Day Steward Initiative.
