In Memory
Fr. Regis John Alexoudis
November 3rd, 1953 - July 15th, 2022
Fr. Regis served as interim priest and substitute priest to his beloved home parish of Saint Nicholas Orthodox Church, in Wilmington, NC for several months and Sundays over the years. Additionally, he has also substituted at the base chapel of Camp Lejeune. Fr. Regis was instrumental in establishing the All Saints Antiochian Orthodox Church in Raleigh, North Carolina, where he has also substituted after having founding the parish there. Fr. Regis was most excited with the prospect of commencing a vibrant parish in the Jacksonville metropolitan area. He prays that we can all work together to help this mission of St.Porphyrios grow and flourish!
Father Regis fell asleep in the Lord on July 15th, 2022, may his memory be eternal!
​
May God continue to bless our efforts for His Holy Church!
