[ Monument Panels 1 and 2 :]
This park is dedicated to “Father Laloussis” with deep appreciation for his service to the Washington, DC community and in recognition of his lasting contribution to the Greek Orthodox Church in America.

Pastor: Saint Sophia Greek Orthodox Church, Washington, D.C. 1934-1954
Dean: Saint Sophia Greek Orthodox Cathedral, Washington, D.C. 1955-1960
Bishop: Dioceses of Chicago and Charlotte-Atlanta. 1960-1973

[ Panels 3 and 4 :]
His determination to build a Greek Orthodox cathedral in the Nation’s Capital became a reality in 1955. His vision was fully realized in 1956 when he welcomed President Dwight D. Eisenhower to place the cornerstone of the Saint Sophia Cathedral.

Bishop Laloussis was a devoted clergyman who called forth the best in his parishioners. A dynamic teacher who illuminated the path and mission of his faith. A revered leader who, by example inspired humility, piety and love.
