The former Archbishop of America, Demetrios, will be honoured for his love and unselfish aid to the Eparchies of the Serbian Orthodox Church in America.
According to Romfea.gr, the Holy Synod of the Church of Serbia has decided to award Demetrios the Saint Savvas Medal (1st Grade).
It is worth mentioning that in 2016, when the Cathedral of Saint Sava in New York was completely destroyed, the former Archbishop placed at the disposal of the Serbian Orthodox community of Saint Sava, any Greek Orthodox church to use it for their worship and liturgical needs.
